Dorsal Has anterior sides lightly covered by the rather faint grayish lines running down to back from ant erior edge. Tip's dark gray & has been injured as also has post edge.
Flukes Flukes have central portion white thinly lined with rather coarse gray lines- the anterior edges heavily lined & the posterior edges almost solid as is its tip. The under side is different from the majority of Blue Whales, viz; the white is more distinct & the curving lines are broader & not so close together. I have seen only one or two others like this specimen.
