Whale challenge #1

Wed, 04 Mar 1998 12:55:57 -0500

Here is our answer to the Challenge Question #1

"What do you think humpback whales are eating when they come up
to Stellwagen Bank and the Gulf of
Maine, and what are they eating
down in the Caribbean right now?"

When they come up to Maine they are eating Krill or plankton, which are the
same thing.

Down in the Caribbean they do not eat. They go without eating until they
migrate back to their summer home.

Ages 8 and 9
