Cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) are carnivorous creatures. The toothed whales (including dolphins) feed mostly on fish and squid, although the orca (killer whale) often hunts seals, sharks, and other cetaceans. The giant baleen whales (Blue whale, grey whale, humpback whale, etc), on the other hand, specialize in eating tiny planktonic crustaceans called krill.
