Hawaiian short-finned pilot whales are surprisingly voracious hunters, diving hundreds of meters beneath the Pacific to snatch squid in the dark. By tagging and tracking eight whales, researchers uncovered just how much energy these deep-sea forays require—and how many squid the whales must eat to stay fueled. Their calculations reveal that each whale downs dozens to hundreds of squid per day, adding up to a staggering 88,000 tonnes of squid consumed annually by the whole population.
