“While finding a tiny coconut in a whale’s stomach is enchanting, there’s nothing so striking as the image of a sperm whale eating a shark. It disturbs me the way turducken does, like as a close cousin to cannibalism. More terrifying, with sharks in the diet, Americans who might have been swallowed by sperm whales would have had another thing to worry about: sharing the stomach of your predator with yet another predator. To be eaten after being eaten. To be the –en of the turducken.”— Never thought a Salon piece could give me nightmares. (via alittlespace)
Stop shooting missile harpoons at sperm whales and maybe you won’t have to worry about being eaten by one.
