This whale gulps down tons of wate |
Whales are divided in to two groups: one is toothed whales, the other is baleen whales. Toothed whales eat meat like fish and the killer whale is the only whale that eats marine mammals but only manatees and dugongs eat underwater plants. They use echolocation, which helps them find food. They make buzzing sound which spreads thousands of miles around. When it hits an object it bounces of it and the whale knows the shape and size of it and it flips its powerful fluke and swims through the water as fast as a race car and caches its prey. Baleen whales have quite a different way of living, They eat shrimp like animals called krill, plankton, and other small fish. They use their baleen plates to trap the tiny living animals.They take huge gulps of water with all the food. Their tongue pushes out the water and traps tiny fish and they gulp it down.
