When I would be a shark and came across a whale, no matter its size, I would bite off its fins and start eating. Same with a big ray. How do those animals survive so long anyway?
In: Biology
They aren’t slow. They *look* slow. That is a key difference. Your brain interprets their fin moving flow relative to their body, or them taking so long to move by, and doesn’t do the math that the fin is 12 feet long and the tip is moving at 80 mph, or it is swimming by you at 20 mph. Whales can and do move plenty fast, and a smaller thing might move fast enough to dodge, but one hit from the mac truck speed and weight fin and you are dead. One hit from the bus speed and dozen bus mass body and you are dead.
