How does it survive on such small things? That's like if I were to constantly eat the dust remnants of cereal

How sick would it be to just be a massive animal floating through the ocean sucking in water for food

Where / when does the water come back out?

I wonder how they know where to eat. Like.. do they just pick a spot, take a big gulp and sometimes be like "well damn, all I got was water."

One of the largest animals alive feeding on some of the smallest animals alive. Nature is bullshit.

THE largest animal alive and believed to be the largest animal to have ever lived on planet earth.

No, nature is perfectly balanced, as it would take an insane amount of time and effort to find and devour whole schools of fish (Unlike krill which are insanely plentiful) as the amount of energy to hunt down whole schools of fish, requires more energy than it takes to support its MASSIVE daily caloric intake!

It looks primally terrifying, but despite the mouth the size of a boat, their throats are just a few inches across. They couldn't swallow you if they tried.

Ima use that excuse next time.

hey they won't swallow you but they'll crush you involuntarily tho. Not sure that's better.

That really just means you're trapped in the baleen while literal tons of water smash you against a hole you won't fit down. Not the most obvious nightmare, but not exactly a fun ride either.

I feel like crushing is more of a worry than swallowing.

You could probably get smashed through a 6 inch hole.

His was actually a huge fish according to texts. Only recently was it called a whale. Gah...I hate that I even know this. I've read thru the damn thing enough times it finally made sense that sky daddy's a fuckin fraud.

Wouldn't giving credit be awesome, OP? Yes, it would. Ripping shit off for fake internet points sucks. Dominic Biagini is the photographer. He's posted this himself on several other sites. He goes by dolphindronedom on Instagram.

Considering over three quarters of the FP is reposts.......imgur is definitely going to shit

and half of those are from company-owned repost bots. But I refuse to give in, especially in cases like this where it's not so much a repost as blatant content theft.
