This year of 2022, I plan on concentrating on endangered species on planet earth. Each day of the week I will be posting an image of each species. Feel free to make comments. I hope you enjoy each digital rendering of each one. Be sure to visit my website: ronaldwashingtonphotography.com

Some scientists have speculated that fin whales circle schools of fish with the white side facing the prey and frightening them into denser schools that are easier for the whale to catch. The fin whale, like other baleen whales, strains its food from the water through baleen plates.

Next to the blue whale, the fin whale is the second largest mammal in the world. They have a distinct ridge along their back behind the dorsal fin, which gives it the nickname "razorback.” Fin whales have a very unusual feature: the lower right jaw is bright white, and the lower left jaw is black.
