Pygmy right whales Caperea marginata are the smallest , ‘most enigmatic†and probably least studied of all baleen whales . Baleen act like sieves in the mouth of baleen whales , which allow seawater to pass but trap small prey items like zooplankton and small . fish Pygmy right whales are rarely seen in the wild . Reason for this may be their relatively small size – 6.5 meters long and weighing up to 3.5 tons – , sparse distribution , and inconspicuous behavior , especially compared to the boisterous humpback whales .
