Scientists studied whales for nearly 10 years to fully understand the importance of their poop.
When eaten, the iron-laden krill are re-deposited back into the ocean when a whale poops, therefore fertilizing the surface. That fertilizer feeds the krill and it all comes back around to the whales eating the krill. Everything works together to make the earth go 'round and that includes feces.The good news is, researchers think there's a fix, though it might take awhile.
"Our results say that if we restore whale populations to pre-whaling levels seen at the beginning of the 20th century, we'll restore a huge amount of lost function to ocean ecosystems," co-author of the study said in a statement."It may take a few decades to see the benefit, but it's the clearest read yet about the massive role of large whales on our planet."The ocean shows the imprint of a flukeprint a whale left behind near a Greenland iceberg.Some fecal matter is valuable outside of the ocean. In 2015, an eight-year-old New Zealand boy stumbled upon a rare find that turned out to be.
Creating a chunk of ambergris requires"one unlikelihood piled on top of another," according to molecular biologist Christopher Kemp. Apparently,"only one percent of the 350,000 sperm whales [on Earth] can actually make it," he toldSometimes sperm whales release hundreds of pounds of ambergris at a time. Then, the matter floats through the oceans for many years before it hardens and becomes worth anything of value.
