"Ever Seen A Whale Or Dolphin With Hair Did you know whales and dolphins have hair Yes whales and dolphins have hair. The bumps on the face of a humpback whale are tubercles and each has one or two tiny hair follicles. It is possible that these structures are vestigial which is something that has been retained during the evolutionary process even though its function has been lost. Examples of vestigial structures in humans are wisdom teeth tail bones goosebumps and even hiccups which are a vestigial remnant of breathing through gills. However there is evidence that these hair follicles"

"Why Orcas Target Shark Livers Specifically Why do some killer whales only eat shark liver How are orcas able to extract the liver with surgical precision The answer is pretty straight forward. Shark livers are massive. They make up 5% to 25% of a shark's total body weight and up to 90% of their body cavity. These livers are packed with a calorie dense oil known as squalene. It is one of the densest sources of calories you can find in the ocean. In fact shark livers are richer in fats and oils than whale blubber. A single shark liver can sustain an orca for days. The rest of the shark is full"

"The Fascinating Reason Baby Orcas Are Born Orange #shorts Why are orca calves orange A marine biologist explains that the reason is because orca calves are born without a thick layer of blubber. So the orange tint to the orca calf's skin is actually from their blood vessels. Orca calves loose their orange color pretty quickly because orca milk is about 40--60% fat so it doesn't take them long to build up that layer of blubber. To meet these nutritional needs orca moms forage at a much higher rate than normal. This is challenging however because southern resident killer whales primarily feed"

"The Dolphin Species That Fooled Marine Biologists for Years The Clymene dolphin was first thought to be a subspecies of spinner dolphin. At first glance the two look very similar with the major differences being that the dorsal fin of a Clymene dolphin is less triangular and their rostrum or snout is shorter. They also have similar behaviors being mostly nocturnal hunting cephalopods at night or in deep waters where light is limited. Clymene dolphins also spin when they jump but not with the same intensity or regularity as spinner dolphins. Nuclear DNA showed that Clymene dolphins are closely"

"Orcas and Humpback Whales Working Together Interactions between humpbacks and orcas are almost universally hostile with orcas either preying on humpbacks or humpbacks defending other species from killer whales. But off the coast of northern Norway orcas feeding on herring are often joined by humpback whales. The orcas will herd the herring into large bait balls that the humpbacks will feed on through surface lunging. This is known as the Foraging Advantage Hypothesis which argues that some mixed species groups gain foraging benefits through an improved ability to detect herd and obtain food"

"The Dolphin Species That Fooled Marine Biologists for Years The Clymene dolphin was first thought to be a subspecies of spinner dolphin. At first glance the two look very similar with the major differences being that the dorsal fin of a Clymene dolphin is less triangular and their rostrum or snout is shorter. They also have similar behaviors being mostly nocturnal hunting cephalopods at night or in deep waters where light is limited. Clymene dolphins also spin when they jump but not with the same intensity or regularity as spinner dolphins. Nuclear DNA showed that Clymene dolphins are closely"

"Pilot Whales VS Killer Whales Like orcas pilot whales are a species of oceanic dolphin. They are the second largest dolphin behind killer whales. But pilot whales have a key advantage numbers. Killer whale pods usually range from just three or four sometimes up to twenty individuals. Pilot whale pods number in the hundreds. Studies have found that pilot whales are actually attracted to killer whale vocalizations and when they hear them pilot whales from different pods will band together in even larger numbers to harass the orcas. Many of these interactions resulted in high-speed chases. This"

"Orcas VS Humpback Whales Orcas are the ocean's ultimate apex predator. Their high intelligence complex social structures cooperative hunting strategies and ability to echolocate allows them to hunt almost anything in the water. Their predatory success is enhanced by a powerful streamlined body that allows them to reach speeds up to [--] kilometers per hour. They can take on great white sharks sperm whales and even boats. The only marine mammals known to intentionally confront mammal-eating orcas and successfully chase them away are humpback whales. Over [---] incidents of humpback whales"

They are the only baleen whale endemic to the Arctic Ocean where they use their massive skull to break through sea ice.

This thick layer of blubber and the fact that they have a maximum swimming speed of just [--] miles an hour or [--] kilometers an hour made them prime targets for commercial whaling.

"Did Scientists Shoot A Rare Tusked Whale With a Crossbow A marine biologist reacts to news stories that scientists shot a rare whale with a crossbow. This is true but it isn't the full story. The crossbow bolt was actually a minimally invasive syringe or something similar to take a tiny blubber sample from the whale. This is an industry-standard method that causes minimal harm especially compared to what they do to each other on a daily basis when they spar with their tusks which is why they have so many long linear scars on their bodies. The biopsy about the size of a pencil eraser provided"

"Marine Biologist Reacts to Orcas Hunting Great White Sharks Orcas have begun hunting great white sharks in the Gulf of California through a unique method where they grab the shark by it's pectoral fins and flip it on it's back. This induces a catatonic state that allows the orcas to feed on the liver without risk of injury from the shark. The reason killer whales target a shark's liver is because it is massive and one of the most dense sources of nutrients in the ocean. A shark's liver has more calories than whale blubber Even more interesting in the drone video of orcas hunting great white"

"Crabeater Seals Have the Weirdest Teeth in the World Crabeater seals have the most specialized teeth in the carnivore world. Despite the name crab-eater seals do not eat crab. They eat krill by swimming into swarms with their mouths open then they close their mouths and push the water out through their unique lobed teeth like a sieve allowing them to filter krill from seawater just like modern baleen whales. Up to 80% of crabeater seals that survive their first year have scars from leopard seal attacks. In order to overcome the specializations of leopard seals crabeater seals also have"
