- But when the tourists have gone home, the Whale Caller lingers at the shoreline, wooing a whale he calls Sharisha with cries from a kelp horn. When Sharisha fails to appear for weeks on end, the Whale Caller frets like a jealous lover-oblivious to the fact that the town drunk, Saluni, a woman who wears a silk dress and red stiletto heels, is infatuated with him. After much ado-which Mda relates with great relish-the two misfits fall in love.

What Eats Whales? Quick Answer. Killer whales, sharks and false killer whales eat whales. False killer whales and killer whales may hunt whales in packs. Humans are largely considered to be the primary predator of whales. Because of the large size and thick skin of many species of whales, it makes it difficult for natural predators, such as killer whales and sharks, to kill and eat full-grown whales. The few natural predators of the whale often choose to hunt baby whales or smaller species of whales, because they are easier to kill.
