Best Answer

Whales are important to the environment. They are part of the food chain, serving as predators of plankton, krill (large baleen whales) salmon, tuna, squid (toothed whales) and many fish in between. They are also food for sharks, other whales and even the tiniest sea life as their bodies decay after death.
