Baleen
Baleen: Easy to understand
Imagine trying to separate pasta from boiling water without a strainer. This situation is similar to how baleen whales filter food from water in the ocean. Just like you would pour the pot through a strainer to catch the pasta while letting the water flow through, baleen whales have a special filter-feeding system called baleen that allows them to sift tiny creatures like krill from vast amounts of water, capturing food while releasing the unnecessary liquid.
