Карликовый гладкий кит Caperea marginata
Незаметный в море, с маленьким неотчетливым фонтаном. Типично для него не более чем на несколько секунд время от времени появляться на поверхности. Выпрыгивание и поднятие хвоста не наблюдалось. Внешне похож на малого полосатика "выходящего" рылом из воды, но в отличии от полосатика его спинной плавник и спина обычно остается скрытой от глаз. [rus]

The Northern Right Whale
Of all the large whale species, the northern right whale is the most endangered. Prized for centuries for its copious oils and baleen ("whalebone"), it was intensely hunted into the 20th century. Fewer than 350 remain in the northwestern Atlantic; a European population was extirpated by the 1500s. Because of this severe depletion, the right whale was the first whale species to receive international protection, beginning in 1935. It is now protected by a host of national laws and international treaties. [eng]
