A pair of fin whales feeding in synchrony. 🎥: Mike Nulty These slender and streamlined giants can swim to speeds up to 25 mph (40 kmh), making them one of the quickest of all the whales, and earning themselves the nickname “greyhounds of the sea." Fin whales belong to the parvorder of baleen whales (Mysticeti), and are the second largest species on Earth after the blue whale! | Ocean Conservation Research - OCR

Here is a group of fin whales feeding on krill in Antarctica. It’s breathtaking to see so many whales. This should be how life is in Antarctica. Instead, this incredible scene is ruined, by a massive industrial trawler, plundering krill. It’s the very same krill these whales rely on. It’s time to end krill fishing. Krill is used for products we do not need. It is turned into pet food. It is used to help turn farmed fish flesh, such as salmon, pink. Finally, it’s used as krill oil for supposed hu

Blue whale vocalizations are very low frequency sounds with some in the 15 Hz range. These tones characteristically travel long distances due to the high power, but also due to very long-wavelengths (over 300 feet for 15 Hz). This enables their songs to be heard thousands of miles from the source. We can assume that the projection distance is important (Nature can be extravagant, but she is never wasteful), but we can only speculate why they need to broadcast their songs across ocean basins. The
