The CollectA Bowhead Whale figure accurately represents the whale’s robust body, arched upper jaw, and large head, which can make up about one-third of its total body length. The color scheme includes a dark gray / black body with white patches on the chin and tail, reflecting the natural coloration of the Bowhead Whale. The pose of the whale, depicted as if gliding through the water, conveys a sense of grace.
This CollectA Bowhead Whale measures approximately in inches: 6 L x 3.25 H.
The Bowhead Whale name, "Bowhead," comes from their distinctive, bow-shaped mouth and arched upper jaw, which are crucial for their feeding strategy.
Bowhead Whales are baleen whales, meaning they use baleen plates in their mouths to filter-feed on small organisms such as krill, copepods, and other zooplankton. They swim with their mouths open, allowing water to flow through the baleen plates, which trap the food while expelling the water. This efficient feeding mechanism enables them to thrive in the nutrient-rich waters of the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions.
