    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blainville's_beaked_whale

    Blainville's beaked whales do not capture prey by biting. They use suction feeding to capture prey. They create low pressure in the mouth by retracting tongue, and using throat grooves to expand throat volume. This creates a lower pressure in the mouth than the surrounding waters, allowing the whale to suck in water and whole prey. [12]

    As the whales swim up to the surface to feed they can hold up to 15,000 gallons of sea water in their mouths. [citation needed] Humpback whales have 14 to 35 throat grooves that run from the top of the chin all the way down to the navel. [3] These grooves allow the mouth to expand. [3]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaked_whale

    Beaked whales have several anatomical adaptations to deep diving: large spleens, livers, and body shape. Most cetaceans have small spleens. However, beaked whales have much larger spleens than delphinids, and may have larger livers, as well. These anatomical traits, which are important for filtering blood, could be adaptations to deep diving.

    Fossils have revealed an ancient marine reptile with a loosely connected jaw that allowed its throat to balloon out to a massive size so it could filter feed the way right whales do today.

  8. Rorqual - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorqual

    All members of the family have a series of longitudinal folds of skin running from below the mouth back to the navel (except the sei whale and common minke whale, which have shorter grooves). These furrows allow the mouth to expand immensely when feeding. [5] These "pleated throat grooves" distinguish balaenopterids from other whales. [5]
