The baleen system works when a whale opens its mouth underwater and the whale takes in water.The whale then pushes the water out, and animals such as krill are filtered by the baleen and remain as food source for the whale. whale's baleen plates play the most important role in its filter-feeding process. In order to feed, a baleen whale opens its mouth widely and scoops in dense shoals of prey (such as krill, copepods, small fish and sometimes birds that happen to be near the shoals), together with large volumes of water.
