About this listen

Can you believe that many of the largest animals on the planet don't have teeth?! It's true! Many of our whales consume large amounts of food on a daily basis utilizing a system called filter feeding and on today's episode, we delve into that filter feeding behavior of several whales we see in the waters of the Last Frontier. What tool do humpback whales use? Why is the Alaskan summer an all you can eat buffet? And which whales have a mustache?! It's the episode that'll have you separating your food with your tongue!
