The name ‘Baleen’ is the anatomical name for a particular whalebone belonging to the group of filter-feeding whales. The baleen is essentially the filter mechanism that enables the whale to collect krill and other marine organisms during feeding; whilst a sweeping action of its tongue and the reversal of water-flow as the whale dives and re-surfaces enables the straining of food, and cleaning of their baleen prior to next meal. The Baleen Filter technology is an engineered adaptation of this natural technique used by the Baleen whale.
