Do killer whales eat baleen whales?

Answer 1

Killer whales eat everything that swims in the water other than human beings and other poisonous fish. Transient orcas hunt dolphins, seals, and whales. In fact, some orcas that live up north towards Alaska have been reported eating deer, catching the deer as the deer cross a strait.

BTW, there has never been the report of orca attacks. None.

Answer 2

Nope,it's the other way around, but only sometimes. Humpback Wales do not eat orca whales. They eat, plankton, krill and other small schooling fish. they can eat between 4000-5000 pounds of krill every day

Answer 3

Humpback whales are up to 52 feet (16 meters) long and weigh 79,000 lbs. (36,000 kg). Killer whales grow up to 22 feet (6.7 meters) and weigh up to 12,000 lbs. (5,442 kg). It is highly unlikely.

Yes! Killer whales are the only natural predator to other whales. A pod of killer whales will actively hunt and kill a blue whale, which is the biggest animal on earth, so they could quite easily kill a humpback whale. Unfortunately in most cases, it is only the tongue that gets eaten by the killer whales, the rest is eaten by sharks.
