From this angle you can clearly see the unique asymmetrical coloring on these incredible animals.
Mostly sporting grey, dark brown and black tones with a gorgeous pale belly, from a distance there might not seem anything unusual about fin whales. However, on closer inspection they have one very striking feature.
Whilst on their left side their lower jaw is black, on the right side it is a brilliant white. The difference in colouration between each side of the body is called
\"asymmetrical pigmentation\" and is only found in one other whale species, Omura's whale.
