This means the whale’s daily routine can involve dramatic depth changes spanning thousands of meters, tracking prey that effectively commutes between ocean layers on a 24-hour cycle.
Such synchronized predator-prey movement ties one of the ocean’s largest mammals directly to one of Earth’s largest biomass migrations, linking abyssal giants to global ecological rhythms.
