FEAR: The impact of killer whales on baleen whales
The biggest whales surely rule the world, don’t they?
Surprisingly, this is not true. A new understanding of Orca attacks and the fear they cause in baleen whales may have shaped where and how whales migrate, how they sing, and their growth rates, among many other aspects of their behavior, ecology, and evolution.
This engaging peek into the world of whale evolution is presented by Trevor Branch, Professor of Aquatic & Fishery Science at the University of Washington.
