Interesting Facts About Whales

The largest of the whales is the blue whale.  It's little surprise that this currently the biggest animal on the planet.  One image to conjure with is that of a newborn whale calf, they are 20 feet long and weigh two tonnes. What puts the adult's size into perspective is that the blue whale is bigger than every dinosaur, they weigh about 140 tonnes and are 75 feet long.  

 Another image is that of a car and a blue whale, you could comfortably park the vehicle in the whale's mouth.

Case Study

The favourite food of killer whales, or orcas, is herring and perch.  However, over-fishing together with global warming has decimated the shoals of these fish in the Pacific in general and the Aleutian Islands in particular.  As a result the orcas have turned on the poor sea otter.  Sad news for the sea otters, whose populations are only about 20% of former levels; survival of the fittest as Darwin would predict.
