The Mysticeti suborder comprises the largest cetaceans, popularly known as whales or rorquals. Some members of the suborder Odontoceti can also be called whales, such as the white-whale and whale-beaked. The main difference between the two suborders is that in Mysticeti, the teeth are absent, being replaced by bristles of a keratinous material, with the function of filtering the water and gather food. Whales are the largest mammals living on planet Earth. The male whale is called caxarelo
