āAn Eden's whale trap feeding in the Gulf of Thailand. This extraordinary behaviour (where the whale treads water!) is thought to have developed because pollution has made the Gulf of Thailand a hypoxic environment. Sewage outflows from the land have caused all the oxygen in the water to be used up, except at the surface. This means the whale's fish prey can only live in this surface layer. By treading water and keeping the corners of their mouth below the surface, a flow is created pulling the fish into the whale's mouth. In the panic, some of the fish also seem to jump out the water and into the whale's mouth.ā
If we ever speak to them we better be prepared if their first words are , "why did you kill everything?"
Whales have long memories, we absolutely decimated them carelessly and wantonly. If they have any collective memories transferred by language, it is of a vibrant sea, packed to the brim with life and whale song.
Sorry I was reading some ecological reports and right now I'm hoping aliens wipe us out so the rest of this beautiful garden world can recover from us.
I went to a Cosmo Sheldrake concert, who heavily uses whale calls in his music and he had mentioned that there was a language translation project going on with whale song currently expected to be completed in the next 5 years.
I hadn't looked into it further but it seems neat!
Sad fact--the weeks following 9/11 were among the happiest days whales have had in decades.
Ecologists tracking whale songs noticed there was a massive uptick in activity following the event. Whales have extremely good hearing but consequently are very sensitive to noise. After 9/11, planes were grounded for a while and air traffic was heavily down. It's extremely likely that the air traffic noise hurts them, but for a brief period, the noise was gone. They sang.
It was because they paused commercial shipping for a couple days, whales can hear giant container ships but they definitely can't hear friggin airplanes lol
Love that show, great to see Bruce Sterling's "Schismatrix - shaper/mechanist" stories put on film. Spider-Rose and the Swarm have been in my brain for 35 years.
Hopefully we figure out how to speak with them. And if we do it will be devastating how much was lost. Like, I can only imagine the suffering and confusion.
Even if they are smart they may not attribute the changes in their ecosystem to us. They might, but it could also be akin to expecting primitive humans to inherently understand climate change and its causes. Theyād see the effects but not necessarily connect the dots.
Lol what if they donāt kill us because they think weāre gods. Our collective ego doesnāt need that.
Imagine when we crack translation and it completely dispels their sense of mystery surrounding us in a ādonāt meet your heroesā-esc manner. The whales are like āwait- they suckā¦ā and suddenly orcas are attacking all our boats and eating beach goers and shit.
Another real cool thing whales did was communicate to others how to escape Whale hunters. This is back when ships were powered by sales, the whales were managed to escape the sailing ships figured out that the ships couldn't travel against the wind. And in the meticulous ship logs from the captains it was noted when a whale escaped, and every subsequent encounter with different whales resulting in those whales escaping as well. That's because the initial whales that escaped were then going around telling other whales that those ships are filled with 'sharp pointy fangs' at this swim away from them going upwind.
Right, but "is typical of reddit" and "is exclusive to reddit" are two different qualities. In any case, I'm not talking specifically about anthropomorphising animal behaviour, I'm talking about not caring very much about the factuality of things. Which, again, isn't exclusive to reddit but is still very much typical of reddit.
It really is extremely sad to read just how badly that we are destroying the planet, and especially making it nearly uninhabitable for so many animals. But on the flipside, it's pretty awesome that they are smart enough to adapt and continue to survive. I just wish they didn't have to.
I was in Thailand about 8 years ago. Went snorkeling in a few spots.
First, the snorkeling in Thailand is freaking amazing. Beautiful reefs, fish, the works. Beautiful country and nice people.
Second, the sewage outflow problem is a problem. We stayed at one resort and less than a quarter mile away was the stinkiest, dirtiest, blackest, river I've ever seen in my life. Just flowing right out into the ocean. You could tell it was sewage, it just had that smell. We didn't swim anywhere near that spot but it's left a lingering memory...
My neighborhood in San Diego is several miles from the sewage outlet of Tijuana Mexico. We still have days the city marks as unsafe to swim in the ocean due to the waste levels being too high. Iām not sure you werenāt swimming in watered down shit unless you were at least 10 miles away from that.
I've read books from the 70s-80s that described trap feeding behavior, but it was outlining the ingenuity of whales. So these whales have baleen which they use to basically sieve the water for krill and small fish. However, just like us, sometimes they developed ways to feed more efficiently like "bubble nets" to herd all the krill/fish together then run through it with baleen. Back then, I never saw this kind of trap feeding behavior described but it makes sense. The ocean is deoxygenating and we've lost like 90% of krill in the last 100 years.
The process responsible is eutrophication: farm runoff pollution causes massive algal blooms that then trigger bacteria in the lower levels as these blooms sink to feed and multiply, eating up all the oxygen. So all the levels below surface are completely deoxygenated and lifeless leaving a tiny top layer. Basically, like in movies where the protagonists are trapped in an underwater cave or a boat, sipping at a tiny air pocket to stay alive - except with food since whales have to surface to breathe anyway.
The overarching phenomenon is called ocean suffocation. The dead water also migrates out from the coasts too. So we keep going the way we go at some point the ocean will just be devoid of life unless we run out of minerals for fertilizers and then our global civilization collapses anyway, which might happen first. Six on one hand, half a dozen on the other.
Polutted waters means less oxygen down below so fish can only survive in the surface layer. Whale creates a flow that pulls anything near it into its mouth by keeping it just below the surface, thus pulling and trapping the fishes. They don't go in willingly, there is no bait.
Yes, but their jaw may injure limbs, and they may start diving before they push you out. And they descend far faster than humans can handle, pressure wise.
So yeah, they'll spit you out, but you may be fucked anyway.
Would the unfortunate human be aware of the increase in water pressure while inside the whale, or would they just get spat out into a suddenly super pressurized zone?
You would notice the pressure difference while inside the whale because the whale is being compressed as well. Although you likely aren't worried about the pressure so much as the air. You will be too far down to swim back up long before you are so far down you are crushed.
The guy who got swallowed by a whale and got spit out really fast like in a few seconds. Whales do not like large humans anywhere their feeding whole and spit them out instantly and he was fine afterwards.
I'm not sure this is entirely true. An old friend of mine was swallowed by a whale along with his dad. It took them a while to hunt around for detritus and light a bonfire so they could escape. I'll have to remember his name so I can ask him, I do remember he had a big nose though.
Which is crazy because I have seen a blue whale skeleton and it took like 45 seconds to walk the length of. It's on display hanging from the ceiling at the natural history Museum at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
Well it makes sense when you consider it from the perspective that it wouldn't probably be worth it for them to try digesting anything bigger than the circumference of a dinner plate. For example any decently big predatory fish could cause all kinds of damage inside a whale before it would die in there.
I've read Fellowship of the Ring this year but I don't recall the mountain being sentient. Is this lore from Silmarillion or did I just miss that somehow?
I don't think any whales feed on actual plankton. Baleen whales feed on small animals like these sardines when in the tropics and krill, which are like shrimp, when in Arctic/Antarctic waters.
Many large baleen whales eat plankton, including blue whales, humpback whales, and right whales. These whales are filter feeders, meaning they take in huge volumes of water and use their baleen plates to strain out small organisms like zooplankton and tiny crustaceans (krill). Other whales, like sei whales, feed on plankton at different times of day, such as at night
There are two primary categories of whales, separated by how they eat. What you are referring to as eating plankton are called baleen whales. They are filter feeders that eat small animals like plankton. The other category are toothed whales, like Orcas and Sperm whales, which eat fish, squid, and seals, depending on the species.
Fish tend to enjoy hovering just beneath dark shapes on top of water like boats. In this case the whale creates a current that pulls the fish in. Additionally, in this particular water, it's so polluted that the fish must be near the surface to breath.
Just give me all the fish you have. Wait, wait. I'm worried what you just heard was, "Give me a lot of fish." What I said was, "Give me all the fish you have". Do you understand?
I donāt know what it is or why or how, but your profile is full of things that activate a primal fear deep within me. I spiked my anxiety browsing your posts right before bed lol
I thought you were exaggerating. You werenāt. Like⦠Iām learning a lot of really cool things while also getting jump scares and feeling kinda anxious.
So I have this question, how damn fast do fishes reproduce? Between the large scale human fishing practices and animals that can literally eat tens of them at once they truly need to reproduce and grow insanely fast donāt they?
If your an alien and come in you see these naked mole rat species making somewhat advancements beyond typical species you encounter.
You see these large ass whales sticking there heads out of the water eating thousands of fish
You see a bear eat a deer as itās alive knawing on its rear leg
You see some of the naked mole rats at anytime in the world fighting and killing one another
You label this bitch a hostile planet full of species killing and eating one another and keep drones to watch it to make sure the naked mole rats donāt make it out of here and destroy themselves before becoming space faring dangerous mole rats or tip the scales so they never make it out of here
Cause this planet from a outside view in is prbly pretty fucking gnarly lol
Seeing how many herbivorous species have evolved from carnivorous ancestor, and how many carnivorous species have evolved from herbivorous ancestors on our planet, I can't imagine a world in which life would evolve any differently.
If anything, I'm surprised we don't have more dangerous species around. And it seems that we used to, but us humans killed them one by one (voluntarily during hunt or because we killed their preys).
The Whale is giving the smart fishes a chance to escape
As nature always intended
Life, uh, finds a way
God creates dinosaurs, god kills dinosaurs, god creates man, man kills god, man creates dinosaur...Ā
Dinosaur eats man, women inherit the earth
Admittedly edgy dialogue for 1993. Great lineĀ
Reminds me the incident where a lobster diver survived after being caught inside a whale's mouth. āHe was completely insideā
The whale spit him out cuz he tasted like crap š
Iād shit myself too if I was in a whaleās mouth.
Life found a way for those fish to be food
And the dumber seagulls to get in.
Not the smart ones
The jocks, the sporty ones.
This is high-school all over again,
I would have stayed. Looks nice in there. Comfy.
"I could stay in here for the rest of my life!"
Shut up, Jonah.
Fish are always in school(s), unless they are loners and they dropout.
LOOOL
But would the fish survive without the school?
Homechooled ones would
Yes, European fish don't have school shootings

Well thatās a bummer. Fuck. But pretty cool how they adapted.
They talk about things with each other and share hunting strategies etc. no kidding. Itās incredible how smart whales are.

They should say something along the lines of why did you slaughter us for fuel and money?
Hopefully we figure out how to speak with them. And if we do it will be devastating how much was lost. Like, I can only imagine the suffering and confusion.

They even have different dialects, such amazing animals!
Whales are very smartĀ
Not only are they very smart, they are essential to our survival. If Star Trek taught me anything it's that.
I mean they have a really big brain.

As always, the truth isn't quite what redditors make it out to be.
To be fair, humans anthropomorphizing animal behavior is not exclusive to Reddit, nor is it a new thing.
Right, but "is typical of reddit" and "is exclusive to reddit" are two different qualities. In any case, I'm not talking specifically about anthropomorphising animal behaviour, I'm talking about not caring very much about the factuality of things. Which, again, isn't exclusive to reddit but is still very much typical of reddit.

Yeah it's sad how little Thailand cares for its oceans and the world we live on, ohh well maybe someday the earth will be rid of our cancer
I was in Thailand about 8 years ago. Went snorkeling in a few spots.
First, the snorkeling in Thailand is freaking amazing. Beautiful reefs, fish, the works. Beautiful country and nice people.

Dirty fkn humans.
Life, uuuuh - finds a way
God that is too cool
They do this because pollution has stopped them from being able to feed normally
This feels like a thing a redditor says that ends up not being true.
Iām too lazy to look it up
It's said in the documentary this footage is from.
Look up "Top 5 Whales Scenes" from BBC Earth
I was too. Bitte our dude u/charing-cross did the work.
I've read books from the 70s-80s that described trap feeding behavior, but it was outlining the ingenuity of whales. So these whales have baleen which they use to basically sieve the water for krill and small fish.

Six on one hand, half a dozen on the other.
How was the music not "bigmouth strikes again"?
I like ocean planet more. It slaps harder and references whales (in the sky).
Did not know they did this out of the water.
Inflation got everyone
Itās a relatively new phenomenon iirc. Or at least newly recorded.
Polutted waters means less oxygen down below so fish can only survive in the surface layer. Whale creates a flow that pulls anything near it into its mouth by keeping it just below the surface, thus pulling and trapping the fishes. They don't go in willingly, there is no bait.
Apparently its cuz that body of water is so polluted fish only live near the surface
Iām going to do this with M&Ms laterĀ
I wish M&Ms just jumped into my mouth.
Realistically. If a human was in the middle of that just wading calmly. Is there any hope? Will the whale notice? Or down with the rest of the dishes.
Yeah they just spit them out. They canāt swallow big stuff and know pretty quickly.
Thereās a video on Reddit somewhere of this happening.
Yes, but their jaw may injure limbs, and they may start diving before they push you out. And they descend far faster than humans can handle, pressure wise.
So yeah, they'll spit you out, but you may be fucked anyway.
Would the unfortunate human be aware of the increase in water pressure while inside the whale, or would they just get spat out into a suddenly super pressurized zone?
You would notice the pressure difference while inside the whale because the whale is being compressed as well. Although you likely aren't worried about the pressure so much as the air. You will be too far down to swim back up long before you are so far down you are crushed.
Im scared. And I should be.
It would not be good for the whale if their mouth was a pressure vessel and then they broke the seal while under pressure
The guy who got swallowed by a whale and got spit out really fast like in a few seconds. Whales do not like large humans anywhere their feeding whole and spit them out instantly and he was fine afterwards.
I'm not sure this is entirely true. An old friend of mine was swallowed by a whale along with his dad. It took them a while to hunt around for detritus and light a bonfire so they could escape. I'll have to remember his name so I can ask him, I do remember he had a big nose though.
Har dee har har
I read somewhere that the throat canal of most whales (maybe all?) is too small for a human to fit through
Blue and Humpbacks I believe have a throat the about the size of a dinner plate.
Which is crazy because I have seen a blue whale skeleton and it took like 45 seconds to walk the length of. It's on display hanging from the ceiling at the natural history Museum at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
Well it makes sense when you consider it from the perspective that it wouldn't probably be worth it for them to try digesting anything bigger than the circumference of a dinner plate. For example any decently big predatory fish could cause all kinds of damage inside a whale before it would die in there.
Not a biologist but just guessing
So many animals just swallow their prey whole and alive, makes you wonder how many fight their way out.
So jonah was never swallowed by a whale? I knew Bible was bullshit.
Bible says Jonah was swallowed by a "great fish". Other than that, sperm whales which eat giant squid have a larger throat.
A large enough marine animal that could swallow a person isn't the biggest hurdle for that story.
Unless Jonah was the width of a dinner plate
Jonah isnāt actually swallowed; heās actually just in the mouth portion in utter darkness.
The Bible never says that.
You could definitely get fucked up or drown but they wouldnāt eat you, theyād try to spit you out as soon as you hit their throat
I also think if you flopped around in their mouth theyād notice they caught something weird. Also they have seen you before they came up for air
Better explanations out there but a whale's throat is pretty thin, would cough up a human
Better ask Jonah...
You could probably last for three days and three nights inside one
Why do the fish go in there, are they stupid?
Yes
Well look at humans who go to everest and die there, and mountain isnt even sentient.
Also dont whales feed on plankton have i been lied to my entire life ?
Different whales feed on different things
Different strokes for different folksĀ
Different kinks for different twinks
Different fishes for different bishes.
Different shrimps for different blimps
Different situations for different cetaceans
I know a whale that eats nothing but flaming hot Cheetos
I also know your mom
Bro my mom thinks sprite is spicy water
Orcas will eat a freaking moose lol
theyāre super picky actually i dpubt it
Oh no they eat moose. Moose go for swim, orca eat.
a rare delicacy
Not as rare as you might think, they are like the top moose predator. Meese like swim
Meese
Yiss
I mean, I can't speak for everyone, but I'd personally be less likely to climb a mountain if it were sentient
If mountains were sentient there would definitely be weird mountain-fucking fetish people who would be way more likely to climb them.
I'm at least 85% sure you can probably find that fetish on the internet already.
Oh shit really? brbĀ
Edit - awwww yeeeahhhhĀ
Cave diving gets even kinkier
Well the Caradhras was sentient, and the Fellowship of the Ring regretted trying to climb it because of how perfidious it was. So that makes sense.
I've read Fellowship of the Ring this year but I don't recall the mountain being sentient. Is this lore from Silmarillion or did I just miss that somehow?
So they too do it for instagram pics? Got it
Anyone got the real, non Redditorā¢ļø answer?
Ask your mom for the answer to your question <3
Bro said all whales eat one thing and they better like it
I don't think any whales feed on actual plankton. Baleen whales feed on small animals like these sardines when in the tropics and krill, which are like shrimp, when in Arctic/Antarctic waters.
They do.
Many large baleen whales eat plankton, including blue whales, humpback whales, and right whales. These whales are filter feeders, meaning they take in huge volumes of water and use their baleen plates to strain out small organisms like zooplankton and tiny crustaceans (krill). Other whales, like sei whales, feed on plankton at different times of day, such as at night
They do. Many small animals are classified as plankton, as long as they are "free-floating or weakly swimming".
Good thing you studied feelsology and can correct us
No you just haven't listened in science class
There are two primary categories of whales, separated by how they eat. What you are referring to as eating plankton are called baleen whales. They are filter feeders that eat small animals like plankton. The other category are toothed whales, like Orcas and Sperm whales, which eat fish, squid, and seals, depending on the species.
https://www.nps.gov/redw/learn/nature/toothed-vs-baleen-whales.htm
There is another comment that explains it but the whale is paddling treading water and the flow is pulling them into the mouth area.
Schooling fish seek their own group for safety. There is generally safety in numbers. In this case, being close to the school is the exception.
Just like humans
Fish tend to enjoy hovering just beneath dark shapes on top of water like boats. In this case the whale creates a current that pulls the fish in. Additionally, in this particular water, it's so polluted that the fish must be near the surface to breath.
Free Pool Party! why wouldn't you jump in?
Yes
Fish: "hey, cool boat!"
"...why is it dark?!"
What a snack , but sadly not enough for the whale
Fucking Gojira, nature is metal as hell.
Scrolled way to far to find a Gojira comment.
What kind of whale?
It's an Eden's whale - a type of baleen whale. It's not a blue whale.
I will never unsee this. This is my nightmare. š
Theyād just spit you out, their throats are suuuuper small
So they're not the throat goat?
"He either said go to the back of the throat, or I want a root beer float"
You are to calm with this response.
Do you happen to be a mackerel?
Don't tell him any secrets. Bro got a big mouth.
Didnāt know whales eat actual fish, always thought it was just plankton.
depends on the type of whale
sperm whales eat giant squid. they battle it out. that's why sperm whales have so many scares over their bodies.
Definitely I still have to catch up with my Whales class, but thanks! This is super interesting.
- that whale
Just give me all the fish you have. Wait, wait. I'm worried what you just heard was, "Give me a lot of fish." What I said was, "Give me all the fish you have". Do you understand?

Thank you boss
Song?š„
Ocean Planet - Gojira š¤
My god the other guy wasn't kidding, I'd follow your posts specifically. (Also great song choice! You could also have chosen flying whales š)
I knew it was Gojira, but I automatically assumed it would be Flying Whales
A+ song choice, is it a live version? sounds different than I remember

Ocean Planet - Gojira. One of the best bands ever.
Possibly the most insane animals to ever exist
Whaaaat the... truly fucking lit.
I often forget and then am horrified to remember that Whales are predators.
Wow, nature really is FL
Why does this make me think of Homer Simpson?
Anyone know the name of the song?Ā
gojira - ocean planet
The one time I'm glad I was unmuted, love some gojira.

Missed a real opportunity with the music here š
Whats the song????
Gojira- Ocean Planet
Gojira with the music?
What my mom sees when I ask for extra roti š
So I have this question, how damn fast do fishes reproduce? Between the large scale human fishing practices and animals that can literally eat tens of them at once they truly need to reproduce and grow insanely fast donāt they?
If you're going to put it to a Gojira song, why not Flying Whales?
Whale is clearly swimming, not flying
Awesome band
Whales are gojiras biggest fans
Gojira fucking loves whales.
Bro looks like a big ass pelican. Nice.
Best use of Gojira š¶
Gojira, nice
Of course it's Gojira, the most whale-associated metal band of all time
