I’m big, I’m blue, I sing in the deep, the largest of whales — who am I?
With a unicorn’s horn but in ocean I stay, I’m spotted in Arctic waters each day.
I’m black and white, and I love to play; a “killer” they call me, but not every day
I’m all about songs and huge watery leaps, my giant fins slap when I jump from the deeps.
My head’s like a giant block, squared and wide; I dive very deep where giant squids hide.
I’m small for a whale but mighty and quick, the southern seas are where I pick.
Call me “bowhead” for my giant crown, Arctic waters are where I’m found.
My name sounds a bit like a gentle wind’s sigh, sleek and fast, through oceans I fly.
A true gentle giant with a right kind of call, once hunted for oil — now loved by all.
I’m the smallest whale with a pointed face, toothed and shy in my ocean space.
I’m known for my beaked, long-nosed flair, deep-sea diving is my special care
With a fin on my back and speed on my side, across temperate seas I love to glide.
I carry my name with the color of light, gentle and rare, I’m a beautiful sight.
Though “false” is my name, I’m fierce in a chase, I look like an orca but it’s not the case.
I’m named after a “gray” that’s plain to see, coasting the Pacific is perfect for me.
My name means “southern” and my call’s like a moan, I swim where the oceans feel like home
I’m small and elusive, a “dwarf” in my line, yet under the waves, I do just fine.
With a whale-shaped head but I’m not so well known, a shepherd in name, I dive alone
I sound like a baleen but that’s not quite true; my nose is long, my sightings are few.
In colder seas I’m sometimes seen, with rough skin patches that aren’t so clean.
