The Minke Whale is very difficult to spot.
These whales will usually swim alone.
They tend to avoid boats, and don't breach very often, rarely show their flukes, or make a visible spout.
These whales are the most abundant baleen whale.
Minke Whales eat herring, cod, pollock, capelin, salmon, sand lance, some squid, makerel, krill, and copepods.
