Was learning about Blackfish species in lecture yesterday and my professor shared this graphic of a Long-finned Pilot Whale suction feeding. Wanted to share because it's so silly. Have a nice day Anons.

It depends! Short-finned Pilot Whales have two subspecies, the Shiho and the Naisa. The Shiho is larger, being around 5-7m, while the Naisa SFPW are 4-5m. Long-finned Pilot Whales are 5-7m and ~3,000kg. :]

How come we're not allowed to eat those things?
They're not endangered and never were

I've had walrus meat and seal meat and polar bear and they were all delicious. I bet whales are just as good if not better. Seems like predatory animals are a little bit tastier than grass eaters.
