Hi! I hope you read this! Do you have a SUNFISH Specimen? Or its bones? I'm really curious, they said it was the heaviest bony fish on the earth, tried to search on youtube but I can't find any.

[@trashpanda_2509]

Ok so I have an axolotl. When he dies, I’d like to get him preserved in a jar. How should I go by getting this done? Love your videos!

[@TheCreatureCollector]

The whale eats krill an so smelling like cat food, doesnt surprise me xD An yea, very few whales are actually baleen feeders

[@bjd1980]

I knew the whole blowhole thing, but the way whales eat is new to me. I’m designing an alien for a worldbuilding project that is essentially an alien whale. Now I know how baleen works!!

So some whales have giant moustaches, so does my dad and they doth eat with it

[@runamitchie]

In our country, we call whales "Balyena"

[@slavenkirakovski9414]

I thought it was teeth😂

[@thechosenone5644]

Always assumed baleen whales pushed out the water by exhaling instead of using their tongues. makes a lot more sense, though lol

[@morikokobayashi]

It scared me when I was younger

[@latisha20mohamed84]

Yea blow holes is for breathing for whales I think every kinds of whale have that they can shoot water out for some signs and breathing for the animals to see.

[@gigachades]

And Wales have the nostrils on the top because when they swim they don't want water going in the nose

[@Worldslaziestninjadave]

Do their respiratory system and digestive system merge like ours do like in our esophagus. If not then they can swallow and breath at the same time I guess. Hmm

[@logangassman2341]

Actually, it’s not “Some” whales don’t have Baleen; only 10 species are baleen whales. The majority of cetaceans have teeth.

Answer this question: HOW DO YOU GET THIS STUFF!!!!

Do you have a giant fish bone

[@nathancomixproductions466]

In a sense, whales don't actually have noses, hence they can't smell.

[@tonydai782]

Well smell works quite differently in water. They don’t need a nose, they can taste the water.
