Balaenoptera musculus est mammale marinum parvordinis Mysticetorum .[ 5] Quod mammale , 29.9 metra[ 6] longum et 173 tonnae pondere ,[ 6] est maximum animal notum quod umquam exsistit.[ 7] [ 8]
Corpus est longum et tenue, cutis cinerascens et caerulea in parte dorsali et aliquantulum clarior in parte ventrali.[ 9] Sunt tres saltem subspecies distinctae: B. m. musculus in oceanis Atlantico et Pacifico septentrionalibus, B. m. intermedia in Oceano Australi , et B. m. brevicauda in oceanis Indico et Pacifico australi. Praeterea, Balaenoptera musculus indica, qui oceanum Indicum habitat , fortasse est alia subspecies. Aliis Mysticetis similis, minutis crustaceis euphausiaceis appellatis paene solum vescitur .[ 10]
