The head is broad and short with large eyes.

The whale has twin blowholes with a low splashguard to
the front. Like other rorquals it has no teeth but has
two rows of baleen plates.

the ventral area a lighter cream, shading to greyish purple on
the belly. Some have a number of whitish-grey spots,
which may be scars from parasites or shark attacks.
