A blue whale gains 2.3 tons a month for the first year of life. If a blue whale weighed 15 tons at birth, how?
Basic maths; 2.3 tonnes X 6 months = 13.8 tonnes 15 tonnes + 13.8 tonnes = 28.8 tonnes
Why are gorillas so muscular even though they are herbivorous?
They are so muscular in part because they are NOT simply herbivores. The assumption that they were herbivores is outdated bad science.All of the great apes were assumed to be vegetarian back in the days of deep ignorance. But one by one we’ve found that they are in fact very happy to eat meat and do so when they have the chance.Chimps were incorrectly believed to be vegetarian, and that was what all of the textbooks said, until Dr. Jane Goodall observed them killing and eating animals.Orangutans were also incorrectly believed to be vegetarian, but thanks to the work of Madeleine Hardus of the University of Amsterdam and others, there are now over 9 reported and published observations and photos of them happily eating animals such as the Slow Loris.Gorillas are the last of the dominos to fall. Also incorrectly classified as vegetarians, recent collections of their scat (poop) has found that they’ve apparently been eating monkeys and antelope (Max Planck Institute/National Geographic reference below), and while old (and bad) science writing refers to them as “herbivores,” more recent writing corrects this for example in Live Science: “Gorillas are generally herbivores. They usually eat vegetation such as wild celery, shoots, roots, fruit, tree bark and tree pulp, but they have been known to eat small animals and insects.” Why aren’t there more observations of gorillas eating meat? It would be ridiculously easy to observe in a zoo, if zookeepers would just place a monkey in the gorilla cage and record the gorilla killing and eating it, but partly on the assumption that they prefer bananas, they haven’t. In the wild, there are only 600 mountain gorillas left in the world. That makes it rather difficult to observe. It’s not like you can set up a camera in McDonalds and wait to see what they order.First Proof Gorillas Eat Monkeys?Gorilla Facts
