🐋Bryde's Whale

Balaenoptera brydei Olsen, 1913

El rorcual de Bryde o rorcual de ojos grandes (Balaenoptera brydei) es una especie de cetáceo misticeto de la familia Balaenopteridae. Es el menos conocido, y en muchos sentidos, el más inusual de los rorcuales. Son pequeños para el estándar del género; no más de 25 t de peso, y prefieren aguas templadas y tropicales. Son de costumbres costeras en lugar de pelágicas, aunque mantienen la característica de "barbados" por el sistema de alimentación filtrada que utilizan los rorcuales para barrer el plancton y otra pequeña fauna marina, esta especie se alimenta exclusivamente de peces.
