> [@Wheelz](#): > > (Maybe I’m dense, but I didn’t get the “prince of whales” clue. Care to explain?) Right whales are a species of whale: > **[Right whale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_whale)** > > Right whales are three species of large baleen whales of the genus Eubalaena: the North Atlantic right whale (E. glacialis), the North Pacific right whale (E. japonica) and the Southern right whale (E. australis). They are classified in the family Balaenidae with the bowhead whale. Right whales have rotund bodies with arching rostrums, V-shaped blowholes and dark gray or black skin. The most distinguishing feature of a right whale is the rough patches of skin on its head, which appear white du... The “prince” part comes from the fact that they are in second place to the blue whale in terms of body mass, just as a prince is second-in-line to a king. Put them together, and it’s a fun, punny clue. ---
