Does anything eat humpback whales

Answer 1

Yes. Occasionally, belugas encounter killer whales, polar bears and Greenland sharks. Ice can be a shelter from these predators; killer whales, with their tall dorsal fins, usually don't follow belugas beneath the ice pack. But ice can be dangerous too! Belugas can get trapped under ice without a breathing hole. Humans also hunt belugas for food.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

no
Yes, the humpback does have some predators. Scientists believe that over the millions of years, cetaceans grew to tremendous sizes so there would be fewer predators. The orca (biggest dolphin) will prey on calves whether or not they have mom's protection. There have been several documentations of this behavior with the grey whales off the west coast. Large tiger and white sharks have been known to prey on weak adults and calves. This has been documented in the breeding grounds of Hawaii and off Australia. Humpback meat has been found in stores of Japan as well. The hunting of whales in the southern oceans is well known, and although Japan swears the hunting is for "scientific" purposes, DNA studies of meat bought in Japanese markets say otherwise. Norway also whales, but is not supposed to take humpback. There has not been proof otherwise, but the taking of minke and others is well known. Cookie cutter sharks are a very small, deep water critter who moves toward the surface at night to feed, grabbing on to flesh and swiveling their bodies, pulling out a plug. They feed on whatever they can find, including marine mammals. They leave round, white scars easily seen on sides of seals, whales, and dolphins. When we're photographing for gender/territory identification the undersides of the flukes are what we use, but those cookie cutter shark bites are there for their lifetime! K. G.

Some humans still hunt Humpback whales. Squids, Sharks, Killer whales, even the largest octopuses eat whales. Collosal squids growing to 75 feet in length are able to crush whales with their tentacles, eating them after.

Some sharks and orcas, and rarely people in Japan and other Asian countries.

The small "cookie cutter shark" attacks several species of whales, but is more of a parasite than a predator.

They Do not have any enemy's because they are so big. Humpbacks natural predators are orca and large sharks, i.e. tiger and great white. RA
