Why is that guy so annoyed, though?
A person being passionate about something is a good thing!
Maybe he just knows about the 'Just so' fallacy and he's suspicious of even good-faith science communication being presented as narrative? I know I have that problem sometimes.
She sounds perfect. I like people with a passion for science.
Would this mean that the coming Age of Fire will result in smaller whales as global warming screws with the krill spawn rates?
Mini-whales, with micro-plastic infused baleen and a high calcium diet to help alleviate the effects of the acidic and irradiated seawater
Too bad we already killed off the vaquitas.
Just critically endangered, not extinct...yet.
So are blue whales no more than 100,000 years old?
Whales are surprisingly new.
Looked it up, 1.5 million years
What took you so long
It makes sense when you consider they had to leave the sea only to return to it again later.
Horseshoe Crabs: “Well, well, well, look who decided to come floating back.”
But is there still enough krill for the blue whales?
Prevent predation? Seems like the orcas didn't get the memo.
At least orcas don't do to whales what they do to sharks - eat their liver and leave them to die in agony.
Oh, this is cool!!!
