Are humpback whales herbivores

Answer 1

No. They are carnivores. The humpback is a predator, taking krill and small schooling fish, such as herring, salmon, capelin and sand lance as well as mackerel, pollock and haddock in the North Atlantic. Krill and copepods have been recorded from Australian and Antarctic waters. Humpbacks hunt by direct attack or by stunning prey by hitting the water with pectoral fins or flukes
No. Humpback whales (like all baleen whales) are seasonal feeders and carnivores that filter feed tiny crustaceans (krill - mainly Euphausia superba, copepods, etc.), plankton, and small fish (including herring, mackerel, capelin, and sandeel) from the water. They are gulpers (not skimmers), filter feeders that alternatively swim then gulp a mouthful of plankton or fish. Concentrated masses of prey are preferable for this method of feeding. An average-sized humpback whale will eat 4,400-5,500 pounds (2000-2500 kg) of plankton, krill and small, schooling fish each day during the feeding season in cold waters (about 120 days). They eat twice a day.

Answer 2

Well, they are carnivores because they eat meat in the form of octopus, small fish, shrimp and squid but there are also some dolphins consume planktons. The truth is the diet of a dolphin depends very much on where it lives. And much like humans, who have a wide variety of preferences, dolphins also show a range of interests in terms of things they like to eat. Some of them favor mackerel, herring and cod, while others show a preference for squid.
