The sea is the world’s biggest toilet... [VID: Do whales urinate? Yes, whales urinate a lot. In fact, whales may be considered “world champs” of pee production. It is estimated that a single fin whale produces 260 gallons of urine each day. That’s enough urine to fill a 10-by-6-foot kiddie pool. The urine produced by whales is essential to the marine ecosystem. Without urine from sea creatures, coral reefs and seagrass meadows would struggle. Quantities of nitrogen and phosphorus are the secret

Do whales drink the water they swim in? Thanks to their specialised kidneys which can filter out high quantities of salt, whales can drink seawater. But they get most of the water they need from small sea creatures they consume, such as krill. #WorldOceanWeek #EarthCapture by Slater Moore Photography | BBC Earth

How do you make whale watchers excited? By showing them whale poop of course! Lately, our Fin Whales have been feeding on an incredible amount of krill that makes their excrement bright red. This is all part of what’s called The Whale Pump, a process where a whale eats and takes nutrients from lower in the water column and distributes those nutrients to different depths, effectively fertilizing the ocean! In honor of the Whale Pump we are christening today as #whalepoopwednesday••••(📸: @mattast
