The importance of whale-falls
Yesterday, I watched this fascinating YouTube video about whale-falls. A whale-fall is the event of a dead whale sinking to the bottom of the ocean after having exploded. Sounds a bit creepy, but I found it fascinating because it shows the different stages of life (yes life!) that follow this event. Such an event can even bring forth new species!
This is one of the many reasons why these giants are so important for our world and need to be protected. I also explain these reasons in more detail in this article: https://medium.com/@ErlijnG/world-changers-4-reasons-why-whales-and-their-poop-are-important-59377db7a1e3https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxSUsn8H2zs
