What are male and female whales called?

There isn't a specific distinction between male and female whales in terms of their names.

* Males and females are simply called "whales".

* You might sometimes hear specific terms like "bull whale" for a male or "cow whale" for a female, but these are less common and not used consistently across species.

* When referring to a whale's sex, it's usually indicated with "male" or "female" or by the "M" or "F" symbol.

Example:

"A male humpback whale was spotted breaching near the shore."

"A female gray whale was seen migrating south."
