baleen whales eat large whales
Baleen whales feed by filtering or straining food from the water. They love to eat krill, fish, zooplankton, phytoplankton, and algae
Baleen Whales filter their food. They are filter feeders. They take in a lot of water and their baleen plates filter the food from the water.
Baleen is a filter-feeding system made of keratin found in certain whale species, particularly in the mouths of baleen whales. It is used to filter and trap small prey, such as krill, while allowing water to pass through.
Baleen whales eat krill, zooplankton and small fish swarming in large schools. Because baleen whales have no teeth, they are believed to uses their enormous tongue to move food trapped inside the baleen, to squeeze water out of the mouth, and to assist the action of swallowing.
Baleen Whales eat krill using the Baleen in their mouth.
Whales, that are filter feeders, use baleen plates to sieve their main food of krill.
Humpback Whales eat mostly baleen.
Yes, right whales are baleen whales. They have no teeth. They have baleen, whalebone, to strain out water and keep in plankton, krill and shrimp to swallow and eat.
Baleen whales don't eat Dolphins. Baleen whaled can't eat Dolphins. Baleen whales are filter feeders. They don't have the teeth to take a dolphin apart, and can't swallow anything that big.
Baleen whales just "smile" and swim. While they do that, tiny organisms called krill will get caught in the whale's baleen. Free food whenever needed! Toothed whales have to hunt for their food. Some whales go in groups while others don't. They just hunt down the prey, eat what they want, then leave before the sharks smell the blood and go into a frenzy. Hope this helped!
Baleen whales eat krill (by filtering it through their baleen plates; hence the name).
