SCHLEICH 14878 Iceberg Right Whale

SCHLEICH 14878 Iceberg Right Whale

The great right whale has long been a resident of the waters off the coast of North America. Its smooth, black skin is covered with greenish-brown barnacles on its forehead and mouth. It has a white spot on its underside, but is otherwise completely black. It can reach a length of 16 metres. A true king of the seas.

The right whale swims slowly through the sea with its small front flippers. It keeps its large body on course with its wide, crossed tail. It can reach speeds of just 8 km/h. It swims slowly because as it glides through the water, it filters small crabs and fish into its mouth through its baleen, which it then eats with relish. It takes a long time to eat like this. Since the marine giant weighs up to 100 tons, it needs to eat a lot of crabs.
