All of the above. When a whale falls to the bottom of the sea, it creates a temporary ecosystem as various organisms, such as scavengers and bacteria, feed on the whale's carcass. This process also leads to a particular succession of communities depending on the decomposition stage of the whale, with different species taking advantage of the nutrients provided by the decaying carcass. This phenomenon, known as whale fall, supports a unique and thriving ecosystem deep in the ocean.
