  I mean when you're looking at something built like a supersized barracuda, I wouldn't want to go against that thing either.

  The fact that an 80-ton creature can reach speeds of 40 km/h making it too fast and energetically costly for orcas to hunt completely rewrites traditional assumptions about deep-sea predator dynamics.

  For years, the Pentagon mistook the voices of fin whales for secret Soviet submarines. <br>When the video notes at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnY8QJGMCEk&amp;t=945">15:45</a> that these ultra-low frequency pulses sound like a stable, rhythmically repetitive mechanical heartbeat, it perfectly explains a massive Cold War panic. In the 1950s, the US Navy deployed the highly classified SOSUS deep-ocean hydrophone network to track enemy activity. Military acousticians suddenly began detecting immense 20 Hz pulses echoing across thousands of miles. The sheer acoustic power of 188 decibels and the flawless mechanical rhythm caused generals to believe they were tracking a new class of undetectable Soviet warships. It took years for biologists to declassify the data and prove that this terrifying military anomaly was actually the low-frequency song of fin and blue whales, capable of piercing the ocean from Greenland to the Caribbean without losing energy.

  I was shocked when one washed up on the beach outside my work in Newquay, Cornwall a couple of years ago. It was insanely large. I never even knew they were in our waters.

  Every time I watch whale documentaries, I realize how little we know about these magnificent animals

  80 tons, 27 meters long, and still one of the most overlooked animals on Earth. Absolutely fascinating. 🐋

  Great video. &nbsp;The Krill population never rebounded like you would think when whaling kills all the predators. &nbsp;It is struggling to recover just like the whale populations. &nbsp;The whale nutrient pump was much more vital than most realize.

  This is the first time that I heard of this whale. I hope that they somehow quickly bounce back.
