Fun Fact

'Whale carbon' refers to the amount of carbon stored in a whale's body. Whales capture carbon, which, when they die, sinks to the ocean floor where it remains for centuries. Not only that, their 'iron-rich faeces create the perfect growing conditions for phytoplankton, which have an enormous influence on the planet's atmosphere, capturing an estimated 40% of all CO2 produced'.
