    Forgive my ignorance on this, but why don’t whales have obesity problems due to consuming so much krill?

      I don’t think any wild animals other than humans have obesity problems

      Oh they got fat i.e. blubber but the water’s cold and they’re always swimming. Krill aren’t fatty enough that you’d run into high fat/sugar diet problems.
