Humpback whale consume 1.5-3.0 tons or 3000-6000+ pounds
This represents the average amount of energy storage for a humpback whale
This represents the slightly larger average amount of energy to be stored for a pregnant humpback whale

Greater loss of energy due to nursing
Some energy loss from swimming & mating
Mother and calf pair swimming in the distance
This is about what is left for the average whale energy storage
For mother's their energy storage is very low and sometimes empty

Human Milk
50% fat content
Whale milk
5% fat content
Cow Milk

Larger decrease in mother's energy storage due to stress
Another decrease in the average whale energy storage
