Right whales are the species of large baleen whales
belonging to the genus Eubalaena.

Their rotund bodies are mostly black, with distinctive
callosities (roughened patches of skin) on their heads.

They are called "right whales" because whalers thought
the whales were the "right" ones to hunt, as they float
when killed and often swim within sight of the shore.
