Except for the sperm whale, most toothed whales are smaller than the baleen whales.

Unlike fins and blues, which disperse into the temperate and tropical oceans, the humpbacked whales congregate in local traditional breeding grounds, so they can make a sound that's a little higher in frequency, broader band and more complicated.

While Japan has suspended its plan to kill humpback whales, its Japanese whaling fleet will still kill about 1,000 other whales, mostly smaller minke whales. Japan justifies its whaling as research, because the International Whaling Commission s rules allow member nations to kill whales for such purposes.
