	Baleen whale

Scientifically known as the Mysticeti, the baleen whales, also called whalebone whales or great whales, form a suborder of the order cetacea.

In spite of their enormous mass, baleen whales are able to jump completely out of the water.

The purpose of these habits cannot be explained doubtlessly.

		First made for the tourist trade in the early 20th century, baskets made of a fibrous substance called baleen - found in the mouths of plankton-eating whales - are now prized as Native Inupiaq Eskimo art.
		Baskets made of baleen, the fibrous substance found in the mouths of plankton-eating whales - a malleable and durable material that once had commercial uses equivalent to those of plastics today - were first created by Alaska Natives in the early years of the twentieth century.
		Because they were made for the tourist trade, they were initially disdained by scholars and collectors, but today they have joined other art forms as a highly prized symbol of Native identity.
