Whale poo

[tanyavee]

what happens to whale poo does it float if so is it a danger to shipping?

[Potatoman]

Very good question. I think depends what the whale had for diiner. If it sinks, it could pose a threat to mussles and barnacles on the bottom of the sea.

It must sink, hence the saying 'Lower than whale dung'...

Interesting question, even if it is liquid it might leave a slick. Icebergs and large lumps of Whale poo I�m flying.

iceberg  from top to bottom!

Just as there are tench and the like in rivers that hoover about on the bottom of the riverbed eating all the rubbish, I expect there are similar creatures in the sea that lick there lips every time they see a whale tucking in.

Maybe that's what The Titanic actually hit, weren't the Captains last words "Oh Sh............."

I was at Sea world in America and I saw a little bit of the underwater world I didn't expect ...A Whale "squit"
They have liquid poo which discolours the water. All that thrashing around with tails and bodies it all gets mixed up with the water and according to the attendant filtered out.
But Whale poo is a black liquid, They eat krill and stuf so its liquid . SHarks eat lots of bones so I suggest it forms goldfish like trains behind them till they break off.
So when at Sea World the whale splashes you could be getting covered in sh1t. God bless America.
