释义	bowhead /ˈbəʊhɛd / (also bowhead whale) noun An Arctic right whale with black skin, feeding by skimming the surface for plankton. Also called Greenland right whale. Balaena mysticetus, family Balaenidae. The proposal appears to apply in principle to virtually any species except bowheads and blue whales, though in practice I think the government is more interested in assessing stocks of fins, humpbacks, pilot whales and several dolphins.... Probably the first thing concerned citizens think of when the word ‘endangered’ pops up is an animal: the California condor, the giant panda, the bowhead whale, the leatherback sea turtle. Like all whales, bowheads are sensitive creatures and getting into the water with one must be done with caution-from the whale's standpoint, not just the diver's. Origin Late 19th century: from bow1 + head.
