Minke whale "minkehval", possibly after a Norwegian whaler named Meincke, who mistook a northern minke whale for a blue whale. Most modern classifications split the minke whale into two species; Taxonomists further categorize the common minke whale into two or three subspecies; the North Atlantic minke whale, the North Pacific minke whale and dwarf minke whale. All minke whales are part of the rorquals, a family that includes the humpback whale, the fin whale, the Bryde's whale, the sei whale and the blue whale. The junior synonyms for "B. acutorostrata" are "B. davidsoni" (Scammon 1872), "B. minimia" (Rapp, 1837) and "B. rostrata"

The game classifies "Animals" as living, nonhuman vertebrate creatures, with no innate magical abilities or capacity for language or culture. Virtually
