Adult blue whales have no natural predators. They are too big and too strong to be attacked and killed by any animal. However, Orca's (Killer Whales) are known to attack and kill youngsters. A group of Orca's can easily hunt a baby blue whale if its mother is not around. Otherwise, they have no natural predators
Humans are the biggest threat to blue whales. Nearly 90% of the world population of these animals were wiped out over the past century by humans by whaling.

∙ 12y agoBlue whales are predators. Its favorite food is "Krill". An Adult blue whale can kill upto 40 million krill per day. They can eat nearly 3500 kilograms of krill in a single day. They need nearly 1.5 million kilocalories of energy per day and so, they nearly eat nonstop. Small fish, crustaceans and squids too get caught when they trap krill in their mouth.
They scoop up large quantities of water into their mouth along with krill and other small aquatic creatures and then filters and push the water out. All remaining animals are swallowed.

∙ 14y agoYes it does. Sharks like to see if they can fight with the shark, but he blue whale wins. However the whale is badly wounded, nearly dead.
