Blue whales can swim on average 20 kilometers per hour, but can get up to 50 kph in short bursts while Right whales can only go about 5 kilometers per hour.
Fin whales can swim up to 25 mph (40 km/h).
Fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) can reach speed of up to 25 mph (40 km/h).
Orcas or killer whales are part of the dolphin family and are the fastest mammal in the world.
depending on the type of whale/dolphin. But overall, yes, dolphins are faster.
Well whales can swim at empressive speeds but dolphins(including orcas) are much more streamline can swim up to 35mph.
yes it does because with the fins it helps them move faster in water
No. The fine whale is the fastest whale.
no
killer whales are known to be dolphins only enemy
They are actually more related to dolphins than whales.
They are actually more related to dolphins than whales.
I think that dolphins are probably faster than blue whales because dolphins are smaller than whales. Blue whales are MASSIVE and HUGE and they take a really slow time to get from one place to another. Dolphins are much smaller than blue whales, therefore, they're probably faster.
Killer whales are not sharks. Sharks are fish and have gills whereas a killer whale is a cetacean or a sea mammal and comes to the surface to breath air like us another thing is a shark moves its tail from side to side whereas a killer whale moves its tail up and down last of all sharks are coldblooded and killer whales are warm-blooded. Killer whales are actually dolphins and is the largest member of the family delphinidae a family of oceanic dolphins. One mistake people make about the killer whale is they say it is a whale because in its name is the word whale. But the killer whale is actually a dolphin the reason it is called a killer whale is because it has been seen hunting and killing whales.
1. Dolphins (probably) receive sound through their lower jaw. 2. When a dolphin is truly albino, it's usually pink rather than white. 3. There are dolphins who eat dolphins! This are False killer whales, Orcas and probably Pygmy killer whales.
whales and dolphins both have fins, but dolphins are much smaller than whales
Dolphins can hear 14 times better than humans. They belong to the order Cetacea, which includes whales and porpoises, and there are 36 species of dolphins. The color of dolphins can be white, pink, gray, brown, black, and blue. Whales are actually dolphins, with the largest dolphin being the Orca, or killer whale.
yes they are friendly, unless you show abusive behaviour to them, they are more like dolphins than whales. they only have killer in them because they are at the top of the food chain in the ocean. they are actually very friendly and very playful if you treat them with love and respect that they deserve
killer whales are much smarter than any sea mammal in he whole world
Free Willy is an orca, which is more commonly known as a killer whale. Orcas are more closely related to dolphins than to whales.
All whales, dolphins and porpoises eat living prey, whether it's fish, squid or plankton. None are vegetarians. The killer whale (orca) attacks in packs, eats seals, penguins, other whales and looks a lot like a shark with it's big, tall dorsal fin. The killer whale does what other marine mammals do, it just does it in a more aggressive manner. A pack of killer whales is much more scary looking than a pack of bottlenose dolphins even though they are both primary fish eaters. Also, killer whales look like the sort of animal that is capable of killing a human, even though there is no proven evidence that any person has been killed by an orca in the wild.
