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
Let’s just say for a second that a shark bites the whale. Then what? It’s just pissed off a giant creature which can swing its tail with extreme force, usually enough to kill a shark and lives in a pod with other whales. The best case is that it gets away with a single bite, but a clean hit kills the shark.
Also just want to challenge one part of this. Whales are not slow. They are extremely fast. Water resistance follows an inverse square cube law, which means that larger animals get to move faster for less energy per KG. Blue whales have a top speed of 50km/h. They’re pretty quick.
