Ko te whanau Balaenopteridae e whakapono ana kua wehe mai i etahi atu whanau o te suborder Mysticeti i te wa roa o te Oligocene waenga (28 Ma kua hipa). Ko te whakapapa o te whale puru i wehe mai i era atu rorquals i te Miocene, i waenga i te 7.5 me te 10.5 miriona tau ki muri. Heoi anō, ko te rere ira i waenganui i ngā momo i haere tonu i tua atu i taua rā. Ko te whale kikorangi te momo ira nui rawa atu o nga whale whale katoa, me te nui ake i te toharite o nga momo kararehe. Ko te whale puru o nāianei e mōhiotia ana, he kōpeke porotiti i kitea i Itari ki te tonga, i waenganui i te 1.25 me te 1.49 miriona tau ki muri. Ko te whale e whakaarohia ana i waenga i te 23.4 me te 26.1 mita (76.8 ki te 85.6 ft) te roa o te ora. Ko tenei kitenga e huri ana i tetahi whakapae o mua ko nga whale whale i tere haere ki o raatau rahi o naianei i te 300,000 tau ki muri, ko te waa pea ko te rereketanga o te rereketanga tata ki te 3.6 miriona tau ki muri, akene i mua atu. Ko te whale puru ka whakarōpūtia hei tetahi o nga momo e waru i roto i te momo Balaenoptera; tetahi mana e tuu ana ki tetahi momo monotypic motuhake, Sibbaldus, engari kaore i whakaaetia i etahi atu waahi. Ko te wetewete raupapa DNA e tohu ana he tata atu te whale puru ki te whale sei (Balaenoptera borealis) me te whale Bryde (Balaenoptera brydei) i etahi atu momo Balaenoptera, me te tata atu ki te whale humpback (Megaptera) me te whale hina (Eschrichtius) i nga whale minke (Balaenoptera acutorostrata me Balaenoptera bonaerensis).Kua tuhia kia 11 nga keehi kua tuhia mo te whale whale-fin whale hybrid pakeke i te taiao. E whakaahua ana a Arnason rāua ko Gullberg i te tawhiti iranga i waenganui i te puru me te parirau, e ōrite ana ki te tawhiti i waenganui i te tangata me te gorilla. E whakapono ana ngā kairangahau e mahi ana i Fiji, i whakaahuahia e rātau tētahi whale humpback-blue hybrid tae atu ki te kitenga mā te tātari DNA mai i tētahi tauira kikokiko i kitea i roto i...  Pātai: He aha ngā whale e whakaurua ana hei whale Blue?
Ko te whale humpback, te whale fin, te whale Bryde, te whale sei, me te whale minke
