💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐋🦐 #Water buoyancy freed #whales from #gravity’s limits, and the cold #ocean pushed them to grow bigger to stay warm.

Researchers showed the key was krill: a single mouthful gives blue whales 200 times the #energy they use to lunge, a payoff only possible at giant sizes.

This drop in whale songs is more than a wildlife story... it’s a sign of how climate change is touching even the largest creatures on Earth. When animals this powerful begin to go quiet, it reflects deeper trouble beneath the waves. Their fading calls remind us that protecting the ocean is not optional... it is urgent and necessary.

There Are Giant #Mammals Alive Today That Were Adults During the American #CivilWar
The #bowheadwhale, a giant, #Arctic-dwelling species bigger than a bus, evidence suggesting they live over 200yr. There are currently bowhead whales swimming around #Alaska that were alive when #MobyDick was written in 1851.
Other large #whales also enjoy relatively long lives; #bluewhales, can reach up to 90 years of age. Nevertheless, none can rival the extreme longevity of the #bowhead.
