ACW: You're actually right! The primary food for this species of whale in the Antarctic is krill, and it happens to be light pink like shrimp. They filter thousands of gallons of seawater a day to strain thousands of pounds of the tiny crustacean for food.
the poor Mink whale!! it seems like the boys down on Tobacco Road in NC got to him, too, and now he's a pack-a-day whale!!! will cigarettes never stop destroying our planet!!!
Scott: pssst! Right metaphor, wrong whale - that would be the Beluga, unless you're smoking something out your ass. But if that's your preference....no judgement ;-)
Someone's had a few too many shrimp cocktails.
