With
a
weight
of
up
to
100
tons
,
the
whale
is
one
of
the
heaviest
whales
and
one
of
the
species
that
weighs
most
among
all
species
of
whales
in
the
world
.
They
can
be
over
250
years
old
and
therefore
,
one
of
the
animals
in
the
world
that
can
live
the
longest
.
In
Greenland
,
they
are
still
surpassed
by
the
Greenland
shark
,
which
can
be
more
than
300
years
old
.
However
,
it
is
not
only
their
age
that
is
impressive
,
because
they
can
reach
up
to
18
m
in
length
.
In
,
they
usually
swim
in
the
Disco
Bay
close
to
Qeqertarsuaq
.
Your
chances
of
seeing
these
amazing
giants
are
greatest
around
April
and
May
.
The
whales
are
almost
as
large
as
the
Greenland
whale
,
which
is
another
name
for
bowhead
whale
.
They
can
be
close
to
18
meters
,
but
they
weigh
"
only
"
about
30
tons
.
That
is
why
they
are
considered
to
be
the
acrobats
of
the
sea
among
whales
.
They
often
come
very
close
to
the
boats
and
are
very
curious
so
that
you
can
get
some
incredible
pictures
of
this
amazing
animal
.
When
you
see
it
jumping
and
diving
with
the
tail
in
the
air
,
you
will
find
that
it
is
a
truly
unique
and
incredible
experience
.
This
whale
is
not
considered
to
be
particularly
elegantly
built
,
and
its
name
comes
from
having
a
dorsal
fin
which
resembles
a
hump
.
The
tail
can
be
up
to
5
-
6
meters
wide
and
has
a
beautiful
and
characteristic
black
-
and
-
white
pattern
on
the
underside
.
Minke
whale
is
one
of
the
smaller
whales
in
the
family
of
baleen
whales
.
Their
Greenlandic
name
is
Tikaagullik
.
It
is
usually
"
only
"
up
to
10
meters
in
length
and
weighs
less
than
10
tons
.
The
minke
whale
can
be
seen
in
the
fjords
and
along
the
coast
in
South
and
West
Greenland
,
including
the
Disco
Bay
,
from
May
to
October
.
However
,
they
have
been
seen
in
many
places
around
Greenland
at
other
times
of
the
year
.
Narwhal
is
one
of
the
smaller
toothed
whales
,
which
is
also
known
for
its
odd
appearance
.
The
whale
has
a
long
tooth
on
its
nose
.
The
tusk
is
twisted
,
always
counter
-
clockwise
,
and
this
tusk
is
one
of
the
whale's
canine
teeth
.
In
rare
cases
,
one
may
find
that
the
males
have
two
tusks
or
,
very
strikingly
,
none
at
all
.
They
usually
weigh
800
-
1
,
600
kilos
and
can
be
about
three
meters
long
.
Like
the
previous
species
,
the
whale
is
one
of
the
small
tooth
whales
.
These
two
species
of
whales
are
also
related
to
each
other
.
They
often
live
in
groups
of
five
to
ten
animals
but
are
also
seen
in
very
large
flocks
.
Their
head
is
flexible
and
allows
them
to
make
different
facial
expressions
,
so
in
some
pictures
,
it
looks
like
they
are
smiling
at
the
camera
.
In
Greenland
,
they
are
quite
common
and
can
be
seen
in
the
seas
between
Maniitsoq
and
Disco
Bay
,
and
in
the
areas
close
to
Qaanaaq
and
Upernavik
.
After
several
studies
,
scientists
have
discovered
that
the
they
can
mimic
human
speech
.
