 Bowhead Baleen

Uploaded by: Samantha_Dassler_Barlow On: May 30 2006, 06:00 PM	Views: 915 · Comments: 0
I was able to purchase this piece of carved bowhead whale baleen from a St. Lawrence Island Yupik hunter that visited the Healy. The hairs of this type of baleen feel similar to the hairs of a horse’s tail. A bowhead whale uses its baleen to filter feed by straining out zooplankton (copepods, euphausids, and amphipods) from near the surface of the water.	5  4  3  2  1
