		Four families are featured within the suborder Mysticeti, with some thirteen species currently recognised.
		These families are Balaenidae (right whales), Neobalaenidae (pygmy right whales), Eschrichtiidae (gray whales) and Balaenopteridae (rorquals).
		The Blue Whale, the largest creature to have ever lived on Earth, is included in the latter family.

		The Sub-Order Mysticeti (baleen whales) is split taxonomically into 4 families: Balaenopteridae, Balaenidae, Eschrichtiidae, and Neobalaenidae
		Eschrichtiidae Gray Whales only, a whalebone whale of northern Pacific waters, having grayish-fl coloring with white blotches.
		Neobalaenidae Pygmy Right Whales only, they are small with a gray body, lacking the striking fl and white markings common in members of the Balaenidae family.

		The tiny organisms are trapped on the silky bristles of the baleen and swallowed when enough food has accumulated.
		The pygmy right whale is the sole member of the family Neobalaenidae, is much smaller than the other rights and has a dorsal fin, but has long baleen with fine bristles, much like the larger right whales.
		The pygmy right is found only in the Southern Hemisphere, and is poorly known, but it is thought that this species follows similar migration routes as the larger rights, and eats similar crustaceans, such as copepods.

		SUBORDER Mysticeti (baleen whales): consists of four families-- Balaenidae, Balaenopteridae, Eschrichtiidae, Neobalaenidae.
		This whale has few throat grooves, short baleen plates, and a small dorsal hump followed by a series of bumps (but not a fin like the rorquals).
		FAMILY Neobalaenidae (a rather new classification): The pygmy right whale got its own family.

		In recent years, scientists have placed it in its own group, the Family Neobalaenidae.
		Pygmy right whales family tree looks like this: Order Cetacea; Suborder Mysticeti; Superfamily Balaenoidea; Family Neobalaenidae;
		It’s a tool scientists use to try to put a little logic into nature to make it easier to study organisms like plants and animals.
