One of the types of baleen whales is the Bryde’s whale. They are very often confused with the sei whale due to them being similar in size and overall physical appearance. Their name is after Johan Bryde who set up the first whaling station in South Africa in 1908. It is debated about if there are three subspecies or not. The debate stems from genetic differences which are quite complex according to the various forms of scientific literature that is offered on the subject. |
