## Caption

DYK: Great whales play a critical role in the carbon cycle, absorbing an average of 33 tons of CO2 each throughout their lives (= to thousands of trees). Whales' movement and 💩 also support the production of phytoplankton, which captures as much CO2 as four Amazon rainforests and generates half of the oxygen we breathe. Have you thanked a whale today?
