Does anyone else find baleen whales to be creepy as hell? Is this just me being odd again?

Seriously, these things are the closest we have to an eldrich abomination in mammal form. They're so bizarre, probably because they're mammals, so familiar yet alien enough that it turns into uncanny valley.
Their weird upside down mouths give me the heebie jeebies. Who the hell has hair for teeth? That is the stuff of nightmares. Imagine getting tangled up in that gross stuff. I bet they wouldn't even notice because they're terryingly huge.
The way they float in the deep blue void of the ocean reminds me of some kind of alien creature floating through space. How can a giant air breathing mammal live like that?
Dude gives me the willies.
Some kinds of mouths creep me out. I got a whole list of mouths I’m not letting near my mouth and a lot of them are ocean-based.
You know how dog water gets all gross and slimy after they go to town on it? The ocean is the planet’s dog water bowl. It’s a slimy goopy salty mess, it’s cool as fuck but it’s gross and I don’t want its mouths near my mouth.
