I think it *is* a meat eater. Needs lots of energy to grow those
crystals.....

From their point, there's not much hunting going on either. It's not
like they would have any chance of escape. They're just being
"harvested" :-)

As the sperm whale feeds on giant squids, which are a powerful,
comparatively intelligent and thus risky prey, which literally has to be
hunted and caught, it is in fact a true predator - but the blue whale
simply sieves krill out of the water, an activity for which the word
"hunting" seems quite inappropriate... when I read of predators, I
usually think of animals hunting their food, so the blue whale is a
predator only in a formal sense (as its food is in fact animal, not
vegetarian).
See you in Khyberspace!
