The feeding grounds for many whales are in cold northern oceans, rather than in warmer waters where they breed. What is the best explanation for this? The zooplankton that whales eat outcompete bacteria in cold water There are higher numbers of bacteriovores in northern oceans, which provide food to whales There are fewer fish in northern oceans to compete with whales for food The whales can't eat in peace until they get away from their kids :)
