The most spectacular defecation in nature comes from blue whales, just like a flood opening, instantly gushing out 2 tons of feces, and all the fish around them are "swine to the head".
However, these fish not only did not avoid it, but instead "welcome to the shit" and specifically drilled into the blue whale's feces.
Blue whale's tail
For most animals in the ocean, the blue whale's feces shit is gifted by nature. If possible, they hope that the blue whale will shit more every day.
So, what are the uses of blue whale's feces? Why does it have so much feces to pull out?

Gentle Behemoth
The Earth's oceans never lack behemoths, whether it is the first vertebrate overlord Deng's fish or the most famous Mosaurus.
But these animals are very fierce predators, and their bloody mouths left a bloody mark in biological history .
In the long river of evolution, such an animal group was born. They are huge but very gentle. They do not see blood when they eat, and they will never actively attack other animals.
They are baleen whale , known as 's "gentle giant", among which 's largest is blue whale , which weighs more than all animals that have existed in history.
Yes, you heard it right, Blue Whale is the largest animal on earth in history . None of the previous ichthyosaurs, fins, and mosasaurs are bigger than it.
The largest animal in the history of the earth
A blue whale is 30 meters long and weighs about 180 tons . It is named because its skin is gray-blue. Although it grows big, the food of blue whales is very small. They mainly eat small fish, shrimps . Their favorite food is an animal called krill .
This is because blue whales are filter feeders, they do not have sharp teeth, but they grow whale baleen like brush .
Interestingly, baleen is not tooth , its ingredients are closer to hair or nails.
The origin of whale baleen is very ghostly . Zoologists still cannot explain how it evolved, because in history, the ancestors of baleen whales first degenerated their teeth and then grew whale baleen.
whale baleen
is worthy of being a member of the Orohound family, and always creates this kind of difficult biologist evolution .
Blue whales are related to hippos on land , and are also distant relatives with pigs, cattle and sheep. They have a common ancestor - Ancient Hoofed Beast .
This is even more unbelievable than the general order of humans and mice. After all, who would have thought that it would look completely different from its relatives? At least the same as a mouse is quite similar to humans.
so big, so naturally I eat a lot. Blue Whale can eat an African elephant-weight krill in one meal, and the deep feelings are boring.
Blue whale swallows krill
Blue whale's mouth is like a fishing net, its chin has strong toughness, swallows into the mouth with sea water , and the mouth is closed and the sea water is discharged through the whale baleen, but the prey is left behind. krill's ancestors are all eaten into for the 18th generation.
can eat so much, so naturally I will pull a lot. Blue whale is not only the largest animal in history, but also the most pulled a lot in history.

has "shit" since
Blue whale can pull out more than 2 tons of shit at one time, and the feces are very thin, and they are usually sprayed.
Let's assume that the density of this feces is similar to that of water. The volume of 62 tons of feces is 2 cubic meters , which is equivalent to 2,000 liters. Imagine that they are sour and refreshing when pouring on people's heads.
Fortunately, the blue whale lives in the sea, and we can't encounter its feces, so the divers are not lucky and may encounter "shock to the head".
However, it is these smelly feces, Many fish in the ocean regard it as "poplar branches and nectar" , chasing the blue whale to eat feces.
whale defecation
Among these "shit" chasers, has many blue whale foods, krill , which means that the krill just finished eating the blue whale's feces, and the blue whale was eaten by the blue whale after the front foot. perfectly formed a closed loop .
You think only fish eat blue whale feces, of course not. After all, blue whale feces are very thin. If you don’t eat them quickly, they will dissipate into the ocean and sink to the bottom of the sea .
There are a large number of benthic marine creatures on the bottom of the sea. Most of them cannot move their bodies quickly, so can only stay at the bottom of the sea to open their mouths .
whale feces
Generally speaking, there will be ocean streams to send nutrients, whale feces are unexpected for them .
I believe that people who eat fixed meals every day suddenly have a big meal. Yes, the feces of blue whale are big meals for many marine animals.
What good things do blue whale contain? Because whales still have solid in their feces, they can be stored in water for a period of time, so it is a long-term food coupon for many animals.
Animal feces are actually foods that have not been digested. According to the energy transfer, it is impossible for to waste any energy in nature.
Energy transmission in nature
In the long evolution, whether on land or ocean, there are organisms that feed on other animal feces . There are dung beetles on land, so there are also various shrimps, crabs and fish with the same ecological niche in the ocean.
Blue whale itself is not the top predator in the ocean. It has a close relationship with the bottom of the food chain. If it weren't for its feces nourishment, there wouldn't be more krill.
At the same time, if the amount of food consumed by the blue whale is less than 2 tons, it will feel hungry.
Blue whales and krill have formed a wonderful ring, and whoever has problems with them will have a huge impact on each other.

The last bloom of whale
There is such a phenomenon in nature, it is called Whale fall , it is a natural landscape formed after the whale dies.
whales, especially baleen whales, are all big fat , weighing dozens or hundreds of tons. After dies, the body will not sink immediately but float on the sea surface due to the gas produced inside .
At this time, there will be many animals to eat it . The first one is the shark, followed by the finpedo, and there will even be another type of whale here - the killer whale.
kwhale is also a whale
The whale carcasses that have been eaten by most of the meat will sink to the seabed , and the animals on the seabed will further clean it up. The remaining meat of the whale and the fat inside the head are enough for organisms on the seabed to eat for more than a hundred years.
In the past hundred years, many gorgeous flowers will bloom on the skeleton of . They are corals, forming a subsea ecological zone based on the remains of whales. The name of this ecological area of
is Jinglu , which is the last tenderness left by the whale to the world.
Whale falls is the gentlest death in nature
Whale falls many animals living in the deep sea, especially dark and unseen deep seas. They are also delicious from the sky. They eat plankton on the seabed all year round, and it is difficult to eat such meat, even if it is highly rotten.
Only 50 whales have been found in human history. In 2020, my country has discovered them in the South China Sea. More whales have occurred in the deep sea. whales are the tourists of the world. They have traveled almost all the oceans of the earth.
It’s a pity that the whale’s unrestrained life has been broken by humans.

whale sneering
Predation has always been a tradition of many ethnic groups, especially ethnic groups in high-altitude areas. However, the productivity in ancient times was backward, and they did not catch a few whales a year.
With the advent of the industrial age, whaling has gradually become industrialized . People have more advanced weapons to deal with whales. The meat, baleen, bones, fat, etc. of whales are treasures , which has caused the number of whales to drop sharply after the 18th century.
Until now, commercial whaling has not stopped. Many countries carry out whaling activities under the banner of scientific research whaling .
The hunted whales
Whales rely on sound waves to communicate in the sea. The sound waves spread much faster in the water than in the air. There is communication between whales. When the same kind are hunted, their last words will be transmitted to far away .
As the first mammal to go into the sea, whales have a high IQ . Most whales actually know the situation of their family, and they are more powerless.
Another threatening whales to survive is marine garbage , especially abandoned fishing nets, which can easily entangle them and cause damage.
The noise from human cargo ships will also interfere with the sound waves of whales, making them get lost in the vast sea and finally rushing to the beach and stranded.
Whale Stranded
Stranded whales are very dangerous. They will die heavily by their own weight. Because of the lack of buoyancy, their internal organs will squeeze each other, causing organ failure and death.
Whale is an extremely important part of the ocean ecology. Their feces and corpses are all rations for low-level organisms. If the number of whales decreases, then will be affected by the entire ocean food chain .
This is a devastating blow to the ocean, and even people are within the scope of this blow.
Free whale
Let these "giants" in the ocean live freely in the ocean, and the earth cannot lose these giant beasts that have finally been nurtured.
