Humpback Whale
The Back Story:
Humpback Whale
Humpback whales feed by opening their mouths and taking in large quantities of water- as much as 500 gallons at a time. The baleen plates serve as a strainer. Water filters through and the whale’s food which includes small fish such as herring and mackerel and krill, a tiny shrimp-like organism, is filtered out as it is trapped in the hairy fringes of the plates. The whale then uses its large rasping tongue to remove its food and swallows its meal, filtering the water through its baleen and expelling it out of its mouth. Humpbacks consume between 2000 and 9000 pounds of fish and krill a day!
