The Shocking Truth About Blue Whales Deaths Revealed
When the largest animal on Earth, the blue whale, dies, it undergoes a process called a "whale fall." The whale swims to the ocean's depths, where its body initially floats due to trapped gases, attracting scavengers like sharks and birds. As the gases escape, the whale sinks to the ocean floor, where crustaceans and mollusks feed on the flesh. Over decades, bone-eating worms break down the skeleton. Thus, a whale's death supports countless other organisms, highlighting the significant ecological impact of their demise.
