Baleen plates for filtering food
Hunting and killing whales for food is a tradition among many cultures, whales for some are just a food source the same way many cultures and societies eat chicken pork beef etc. It also was something Inuits did for food and oil because whales were convenient.
Some whales are at the top of their food chain. While others, like the Blue Whale and the Humpback, are eaten by many Japanese.
Baleen whales just "smile" and swim. While they do that, tiny organisms called krill will get caught in the whale's baleen. Free food whenever needed! Toothed whales have to hunt for their food. Some whales go in groups while others don't. They just hunt down the prey, eat what they want, then leave before the sharks smell the blood and go into a frenzy. Hope this helped!
