The baleen whalebone helps the whale filter feed to get food. Strong tail flukes help the whale move quickly through the water. Their blow holes help them hold their breath for  a long time without gills. Whales are at the top of the food chain. Their natural predators are killer whales. They are a big part of keeping marine life healthy. Sei whales eat small fish, krill, and copepods. ]]> 2018-05-17 13:54:51 UTC https://padlet.com/zariya_gamble431/b9375whpm6uz/wish/261588422 Reference zariya_gamble431 https://padlet.com/zariya_gamble431/b9375whpm6uz/wish/261590051 2018-05-17 13:58:21 UTC https://padlet.com/zariya_gamble431/b9375whpm6uz/wish/261590051 Reference zariya_gamble431 https://padlet.com/zariya_gamble431/b9375whpm6uz/wish/261788318 2018-05-18 02:12:04 UTC https://padlet.com/zariya_gamble431/b9375whpm6uz/wish/261788318 Facts zariya_gamble431 https://padlet.com/zariya_gamble431/b9375whpm6uz/wish/261790700
