The researchers studied “rorqual whales”, a group of whales (including the blue whale) that need to be large because of their unique eating pattern. They gather food through a mechanism called ‘bulk filter feeding’. They dive deep and take in an enormous amount of water, along with all the living creatures swimming in it. Then, they strain out the ones they want to eat using a special filter structure in the roof of their mouths.
