∙ 6y agoSperm Whales are carnivores and feed on several species. The most notable prey species are the giant squid, the colossal squid, octopuses, and diverse fish like demersal rays, but the main part of their diet consists of medium-sized squid. Due to their sheer size, some prey may be taken incidentally while eating other items.
sperm whales eat about a ton of giant squid, octopus, skates, and fish per day.

What do baby humpback whales eat?
Humpback whales are carnivores that eat tiny crustaceans (krill, superba, copepods, etc.), plankton, and small fish (including herring, mackerel, capelin, and sandeel) from the water. They are gulpers: they swim then gulp a mouthful of plankton or fish. An average-sized humpback whale will eat around 5,000 pounds of plankton, krill and small fish each day during the feeding season in cold waters (about 120 days). They eat twice a day.

What food do whales eat?
it really Depends on the type of whale. there are quite a few different types. The diet of a sperm whale is vastly different than the one that of a humpback whale. A humpback whale swims through the ocean straining out millions of tiny animals such as krill using its bubble net, while a sperm whale dives deep to hunt the giant squid, which it bites and tears apart with its huge teeth.
