Bowhead: Natural History Notebooks The bowhead is one of the largest of the baleen whale species. Adults average nearly 19 m long (65 ft.) and may weigh more than 60 t (66 tn.). Its high-arching mouth ("bowhead") is distinctive, and the ponderous head forms more than one-third of its body length. Large sheets of baleen suspended from the upper jaw are used as screens for catching its food, mainly shrimp-like crustaceans known as "krill".
