Life After Whale: The Amazing Ecosystem of a Whale Fall
Lynn Brunelle
An aging blue whale dies and its body descends to the ocean floor. As the whale transforms, it supplies nourishment and shelter to organisms and other sea life over decades. Even after 150 years, parts of the skeleton still harbor life. The book follows this whale fall from the animal’s life through its death and gradual breakdown, showing how an enormous body becomes the foundation of a deep-sea ecosystem.
