What happens when a blue whale dies? You might think its story ends, but in the deep ocean, its death gives life for decades!

In this video, we explore the 3 stages of a whale fall:
1️⃣ Scavengers like sharks and crabs feast on the soft tissues.
2️⃣ Tiny organisms move in, creating a bustling ecosystem.
3️⃣ Bacteria break down the bones, releasing sulfur that sustains life for up to 50 years!

A single whale fall becomes a deep-sea oasis, supporting hundreds of species. Nature truly wastes nothing!
