       So ... by deduction, blue whales are vegetarians and krill are 
plants not crustaceans ? Hmmm, major re-organisation of taxonomy there 
which some people would find rather controversial. As plants, are krill 
more closely related to the fungi than other plants, and do any other 
plants have comparable mobility and speed of environmental reaction?
