Animal Spotlight: Fin Whale

At up to 88 feet long, and weighing up to 70 tons, Fin Whales need to eat quite a bit to survive. They consume up to 2 tons of food daily, feeding primarily on krill, various fish, and sometimes squid. The Fin Whale feeds by using its rows of baleen plates in its mouth, filtering out up to 18,000 gallons of water to trap its food.

As we discuss in our latest #whaletalespodcast episode, Fin Whales are one of the few vertebrates that are asymmetrically colored. The right side of their mouth (including their baleen!) is a white/yellow colouration while the left side is a dark colour. The variations of color on the right side are one of the ways individual fin whales are identified!⁠ #whaletalespodcast #finwhale #whaletales #podcast #subscribe #whalepodcast #storytelling #whales #whalesareawesome #finwhales https://www.instagram.com/p/CSHzfPAn4wH/?utm_medium=tumblr

Posted @withregram • @oceanskeepers Mindless killing machines?? Not at all! Unfortunately, the media and Hollywood have brainwashed the wider public into believing that a shark’s sole purpose is the kill, kill, kill. But the reality is, our oceans need sharks. As @sharkangels explains, sharks are critical to the survival of our oceans. Their role at the top of the food chain isn’t to mindlessly hunt prey but in fact to keep the ocean’s delicate ecosystem healthy and prosperous. Here we have a couple of Blue Sharks doing their duties to remove a rotting Fin Whale carcass from the ocean’s surface.

Animal Spotlight: Fin Whale

Did you know that the Fin Whale population once numbered approximately 45,000 whales in the North Pacific Ocean before the whaling era? The population was decimated to an estimated 18,700 whales during that time. Today, there are around 9,000 Fin Whales that migrate along the West Coast, with their number showing strong growth.
