    Check out the Oceans episode of 'A Perfect Planet' for the source of the video and credit.

    ā€œAn 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€

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 šŸ™‚)

    I knew it was Gojira, but I automatically assumed it would be Flying Whales

    Man couldn’t wipe the smile off my face hearing Gojira on a whale video! The only thing missing is the following link:

    I don’t 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

    Love your username too

    I thought you were exaggerating. You weren’t. Like… I’m learning a lot of really cool things while also getting jump scares and feeling kinda anxious.

    I often forget and then am horrified to remember that Whales are predators.

    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 don’t they?

    If you're going to put it to a Gojira song, why not Flying Whales?

    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 it’s 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 don’t 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).
