The adaptive nature of this whale enables it to live in almost any ocean worldwide; however, they avoid swimming south. They spend most of their time looking for food in colder waters but prefer to migrate to warm waters during breeding. The females usually reach the age of sexual maturity after ten years and breed after every 2 to 3 years. The feeding behavior is similar to other baleen whales, with two blowholes and about 400 baleen plates. These plates with bristles help filter out their favorite snacks from the fish stream. It is common to spot a Sei enjoying swimming near the water surface with visible blowholes and dorsal fins.
