Der schnellste aller Wale \u2013 Der Finnwal<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Finnwale, gemeinhin als Finnr\u00fcckenwale oder Schwertwale<\/a> are the second largest living mammal on the Earth  and the second biggest rorqual whale falling just behind the majestic Blue whale. Like all rorqual whales they are an extremely cosmopolitan specie, found in all the major Oceans from polar to tropical waters. The outstanding Sea of Cortes is considered  an all year round residency for some of the North Pacific population.<\/p>

The Fin Whale is  distinguished by their great size, streamlined bodies, pointed snout, flatter V shaped heads and unique dorsal fin. Their sleek bodies are a brownish dark grey above and white or cream color below like many other species . The pectoral fins  are relatively short with pointed tips and the rear fluke slightly triangular with the same shadings.<\/p>

Fins  whales have a unique colorization feature among all other cetaceans \u2013 their faces are asymmetrical. The right side of their jaw , right lip and the right side of their baleens are a yellowish-white, while the left side is grey.  Fin whales have been nick named  the Razor back  because of  a distinct ridge behind their dorsal fin, the dorsal fin is located 2\/3 down the back, it has a pointed tip and generally slopes backwards giving the fin a very distinguished look like no other dorsal fin.  Fin whales can measure up to  85ft  and weight between 40 to 80 tons.<\/p>

Finnwale k\u00f6nnen leicht mit Seiwale oder Brydewale verwechselt werden. Hybridarten, die durch Kreuzung von Blauwalen und Finnwalen entstehen, k\u00f6nnen gelegentlich in freier Wildbahn beobachtet werden, was ihre Erkennung etwas komplizierter macht als bei anderen Arten.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

          Diese Wale findet man in allen Ozeanen der Welt. Sie bevorzugen tendenziell die Tropen, aber man kann sie auch in den Polarregionen finden. Die Mehrheit von ihnen scheint jedoch die meiste Zeit in den k\u00fchleren Gew\u00e4ssern zu verbringen. Es wird angenommen, dass dies auf die dort reichhaltigeren Nahrungsquellen zur\u00fcckzuf\u00fchren ist.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

          Es gibt zwei Unterarten des Finnwals: den Nordatlantik-Finnwal (lebt in den Ozeanen der Nordhalbkugel: *Balaenoptera physalus*) und den S\u00fcdpazifik-Finnwal (lebt in den Ozeanen der S\u00fcdhalbkugel: *Balaenoptera quayi*). Im Allgemeinen sind die n\u00f6rdlichen Arten kleiner als die s\u00fcdlichen.<\/p>

          Their world population is estimated to be between 80 000 and 100 000 individuals. Like many other whales fin whales were severely hunted in the 70\u2019s.  Fin whales are today still  considered an endangered specie.<\/p>

          No specific  migration pattern has been observed for these whales, but Iike all misticetes, Fin whales  can migrate to subtropical waters for matting and calving during the winter months  and to colder areas of  the Arctic and Antartic for feeding during the summer months. Though recent evidence suggests that fin whales may disperse into deep ocean waters during winter rather than migrating between winter and summer regions, explaining the possibility of the presence of resident groups of fin whales in some areas, such as in the Sea of Cortes.<\/p>

          Finnwale haben eine lange Lebenserwartung, die bis zu 90 Jahre betragen kann.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

          Fin whales also renowned  as being the  greyhounds of the Ocean, they are fast swimmers with an average cruising speed  of 18mph but theses olympic swimmer can reach bursts of out to 32mph. Fins have the capacity of breaching, typically landing on their belly provoking tremendous splashes. They do not seem bothered with boats and can easily outrun vessels and dive deep to get away from boats when felt threathened.<\/p>

          Finnwale schwimmen normalerweise in kleinen Gruppen von bis zu 6 Individuen, k\u00f6nnen aber bei der Nahrungsaufnahme oder Paarung in gr\u00f6\u00dferen Gruppen beobachtet werden.<\/p>

          Fin whales being the second biggest baleen whale count  up to 100 grooves under their throats adding to their streamline shape,  all of which can expand while when they lung feed of small fish or krill.<\/p>

          One of the reasons we know little about fins is because they can be  pelagic whales meaning they spend most of their time out in the deep seas away from the coasts. Similar to they big cousin the blue whale they remain a secretive specie when it comes to their mating rituals.<\/p>

          Ihre Kommunikation ist ebenfalls sehr \u00e4hnlich der von Blauwalen. Finnwale sto\u00dfen tieffrequente Ger\u00e4usche (Infraschall) aus, die bis zu 188 Dezibel laut sein k\u00f6nnen. Diese k\u00f6nnen vom Menschen nicht geh\u00f6rt werden, aber die Wale k\u00f6nnen sie bis zu 850 km weit h\u00f6ren.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

          Die Fortpflanzung findet im Winter statt. Von der Empf\u00e4ngnis bis zur Geburt des neuen Babys dauert es etwa 11 Monate. K\u00e4lber sind etwa 21 Fu\u00df lang. Es wird angenommen, dass sie bei der Geburt etwa 4.000 Pfund wiegen. Fast alle Wale haben nur ein Baby gleichzeitig, gelegentlich auch Zwillinge. Es wurde dokumentiert, dass der Finnwal manchmal bis zu sechs Babys gleichzeitig hat.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
