Candida albicans is the most commonly isolated species, and can cause infections (candidiasis or thrush) in humans and other animals. In winemaking, some species of Candida can potentially spoil wines.
Killer whales have no natural predators (they are the top predators of the oceans) and can live to about 50-80 years old. Killer whales have been hunted by humans but not with enthusiasm as it takes 21 killer whales to produce the same amount of oil as 1 sperm whale.
During these months the impregnated female whales go through whatâs known as a gestation period (the period from conception to birth) which can last for 9 â 18 months. After birth the female whale feeds her young by producing milk which her child then suckles on from her nipple.
