fahrquad Posted August 3, 2019 Report Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) A Humpback Whale in Monterey Bay, California was caught noshing on a Sea Lion 2 days ago. This paradigm shift in their dietary habits may be an indicator of the overall health of the Ocean.

The report I read said that the sea lion got into its mouth by accident and that the whale left it open when it resubmerged, to allow the sea lion to escape. I very much doubt this whale could eat a sea lion even if it wanted to. Quote

The article said the whale didn't swallow the Sea Lion, and that Humpbacks have an esophagus the diameter of a grapefruit or small melon. Edited August 3, 2019 by fahrquad exchemist 1 Quote

fahrquad Posted August 3, 2019 Author Report Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) I suppose so. Trolling is no fun without a real whale of a tale. ADD: Plankton and Krill are animals so Humpbacks are already carnivores, so my post wasn't too far from the truth. Cool photo though. Edited August 4, 2019 by fahrquad Quote
Vmedvil2 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) Yum Sea lion, the other other other white meat, look at that sea lion that thinks it is getting eaten, it has the most interesting look on its face. Edited August 3, 2019 by VictorMedvil Quote
