In this episode of Marine Biology in 5 Minutes, we kick off a brand-new series all about whales! With over 86 species of whales, we’ll explore some of the most fascinating creatures in the ocean, from the largest animal on Earth, the blue whale, to the mysterious narwhal. In this introduction, we dive into the evolution of whales, their unique feeding methods—like teeth and baleen—and the challenges they face today, including climate change and plastic pollution. Join us as we embark on this journey and discover how we can help protect these magnificent marine giants. If you have any questions you can email us at marinebioin5@gmail.com!
