This is the only sub where I constantly go down rabbit holes. For the last hour Ive been reading about woolly rhinos and dead whales. What a time to be alive!

As much dead whale as you can eat! Can't really help it. The mouth opened, the whale carcass go in

I do not recommend whale meat. It's nasty af, like a fatty blood clot.

It's a (probably butchered) quote from the movie Luca, about a sea monster

And think about the impact the whaling industry had on these environments back in the 1800 and 1900s. Who knows how much damage we did and how many potential animals we caused the extinction of by doing that.

I love this video about whale falls and regularly come back to it as a video to fall asleep to: https://youtu.be/QxSUsn8H2zs
