And because their are 80 – 90 different animals within the cetacean family not all species of whale hunt or attack their prey in the same way.

Depending on the whales size, social structure, environment, species and type (baleen or toothed) their diets can change drastically from small aquatic life forms such as fish, shrimp, larvae, plankton, crabs, krill and squid to larger marine mammals (which are generally consumed by killer whales and false killer whales) such as sea lions, walruses, seals, sharks, seabirds and even large whales.

One of the most useful abilities whales use when hunting for food is known as echolocation.

Echolocation works by emitting a series of clicking and busing noises and then listening to the echos that bounce off of objects in the area (such as fish or other aquatic life forms).

The amount of time it takes the echo to return to the whale can provide these marine mammals vital information such as how far the object is, how dense it is (hard or soft), and whether or not the object is moving or still.

part of archipelago was originally bought by gs, arch,originally the electronic clearer used by all firms for electronic trading. tracked every single acct with a #,similar to a ss or dl #, it also could tell what your position was, number of contracts traded, opening or closing a position,

accumulate those #s, divy em up in size from whales to minnows, apply some tracking magic and you have the same sonar those whales are using, once again man copying nature
