Food Chain

The giant sperm whale eats giant amounts of food. This huge animal eats about one-third of its own body weight. A meal for a sperm whale would most likely be octopus, fish, ray, skate (almost like a ray), eel, or its favorite food, giant squid. Groups of sperm whales may occasionally eat a Mega mouth shark. Sperm whales are the largest hunting toothed whale. Food fights sometimes with the sperm whale so it would not be eaten. Scratches in its stomach prove it. Its size won’t protect it from being eaten. In Japan, sperm whale meat is very popular. Giants like the sperm whale may eat giant meals, or it may become a giant meal.
