How do whales eat plankton?

Whales that eat plankton have things called baleen plates. They are fleshy plates covered in hairs. the whale approaches the swimming plankton with an open mouth and then closes its mouth. The whale then pushes the water out with its tongue while the baleen traps the krill. The whale then consumes the krill without having to swallow all of the seawater. Some whales do and some whales don't like the killer whale eats meat and other fish etc but whales for example the blue whale only eat plankton.

Do female sperm whales have teeth?

The sperm whale is a toothed whale. The sperm whale could be the biggest animal in in existence that has teeth. It has big teeth (in it's lower jaw) to catch and eat large prey, such as the giant squid. Baleen is not a tooth, but, is a flexible plate, and baleen whales have many of them in the front of the mouths. Baleen whales, such as the blue whale, eat very small animals such as plankton by taking large amounts of water into their mouths. The whales then strain the water through their baleen, which traps the plankton inside, which are then swallowed. Whalers who caught sperm whales in the past, would sometimes take the large teeth and make drawings on them.
