Best Answer

Baleen whales eat krill, zooplankton and small fish swarming in large schools. Because baleen whales have no teeth, they are believed to uses their enormous tongue to move food trapped inside the baleen, to squeeze water out of the mouth, and to assist the action of swallowing.

Really, the only animal that DARES to do THAT is the Orca but they do that in pods of hunting Orcas. They have to be very organinized because a hit from a whale's tail is enough to kill a orca.
