The majority of toothed whales will eat whale food species such as squid, octopus, crustaceans and fish. Other toothed whales, such as the killer whale, will hunt bigger marine mammals including whale food such as seals, sharks, birds, and even other whales.Whales eat a variety of species from the entire food chain from tiny zooplankton to other large mammals. Some species feed on swarms of zooplankton (copepods and euphausiids, or "krill"). Others feed on schooling fish. The sperm whale feeds on squid.Whales have huge mouths, but…
Their throats are relatively small. A Blue Whale's throat is only as big as a basketball, so it can barely swallow something bigger than a grapefruit (but that's okay, it doesn't need to when it eats krill!).
Do whales eat plankton : DIET AND BALEEN
An average-sized humpback whale will eat 4,400-5,500 pounds (2000-2500 kg) of plankton, krill and small, schooling fish each day during the feeding season in cold waters (about 120 days). They eat twice a day.
Why is whale meat illegal
Its consumption has been denounced by detractors on wildlife conservation, toxicity (especially mercury), and animal rights grounds. Whale meat can be prepared in various ways, including salt-curing, which means that consumption is not necessarily restricted to coastal communities.
Do whales scared of sharks : Meanwhile, orcas have become beloved majestic creatures. Especially in British Columbia, where we can spot Southern Resident Killer Whales and Transient orca populations in local waters. So it might be shocking for many to hear that orcas hate great white sharks.
Whales sleep by “turning off” one half of their brain to rest while the other half remains alert. This is because as air-breathing creatures that live in the ocean, whales have adapted to be voluntary breathers, which means they consciously control their blowholes. Whales basically have two enemies: Orcas (killer whales, which in fact are not whales, but dolphins) and human beings. Only one type of Orca, the transient orca, is known to attack whales and other marine mammals. Transients Orcas are sometimes referred to as "wolves of the sea" as they will hunt in packs.
How big is whale pee
thin whale produces 260gal of urine each day. That's enough urine to fill a 10 by 6ft kitty pool. The urine produced by whales. is essential to the marine ecosystem. Without urine from sea creatures, coral reefs and seagrass meadows would struggle.Not only can baleen whales emit calls that travel farther than any other voice in the animal kingdom, these giants of the deep also create the loudest vocalisations of any creature on earth: the call of a blue whale can reach 180 decibels – as loud as a jet plane, a world record.Not all cetaceans play the same! There are three types of play in whales: locomotive play, object play, and social play. Dolphins' impressive leaps out of the water are the perfect example of locomotive play. In season 7's episode “One Coarse Meal”, Mr. Krabs discovered Plankton is afraid of whales when he captured him and SpongeBob and ran back to the Chum Bucket in panic when his daughter, Pearl, came in.
Is whale meat tasty : Different sources tell us that it has a “dark, gamey taste, like beef, but richer,”[2] is “both gamey and fishy,” and has the “absence of a fishy taste.”[3] As you can see, the only way to truly know what whale tastes like is to taste it for yourself, a concept that becomes more controversial every day.
Is whale meat Legal in Europe : The UK and many EU countries oppose whaling. The EU does not allow its Member States to trade in whale products. Yet we allow ships carrying whale meat and products to dock at our ports. Icelandic and Norwegian whalers have shipped and transferred whale products through ports such as Southampton, Rotterdam and Hamburg.
Are killer whales friendly to humans
To answer the first question, are killer whales dangerous, they actually aren't! Or at least to humans, usually. Although you should still be cautious, there has only been one instance of a killer whale attacking a person in the wild –with no instances of a wild orca killing a human. They do, sometimes, just not very often and only under specific circumstances. It's true that they tend to avoid us and attacks don't happen nearly as often as they could. In recent years, orcas have even taken to attacking boats, sinking them, and depositing their passengers into the drink.If mental representations that precipitate dreams can only be generated during the period of neural activity defining REM sleep (the hard-stance), then it is safe to conclude that cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises), and otariid seals while at sea, do not dream.
Can whales see at night : However, although whales' eyes contain few cones, they do contain many rods. The function of cones is to capture colour, while rods allow an organism to see better in low light. Whales therefore seem to have prioritized night vision over colour vision!
