Big enough to fit a lot of seals, sharks, or humans, that much is true.

But it only feeds on small creatures, since it's a filter-feeder.

Humpbacks are gulpers, taking in as much a 1 ton of fish per day. They eat herring (their favorite) capelin, scad, sardines, needle fish, sand lance, small salmon, squid, and krill. Their stomachs are three chambered to break down the nutrition more slowly and thereby using every bit for their body's needs. The size of their stomachs would depend on the size of the whale. First and second chambers can hold well over 200 gallons and 1 ton of krill. Some cetaceans (grey whale) eat sand and stones to aid their digestion by grinding food (like birds). Others, the vertebrae of their prey does this for them. RA
