Can a whale kill a mouse?
A whale, being a mammal, has lungs. As such, it must breathe air in order to live and function properly. Without air the whale will surely die.
A mouse is a creature with lungs. If the whale killed it, surely the whale would need to kill it first by suffocation.
The mouse is capable of escaping from the whale, as it can move freely through a tunnel. The whale has no such ability in an airless environment.
The mouse can simply go down a hole, or build one with its teeth and claws, then wait for the whale to suffocate.
The whale would die first, and the mouse could then eat it. This is because a mouse is not a carnivore.
The mouse is a herbivore. There are many plants in the sea, so the mouse could easily survive.
