Structural: Streamlined for swimming, blowhole on the dorsal side for ease in breathing, elongated tail (flippers are actually fused hind limbs) for extra power/force in swimming, grooved throat (gullet) for increased volume of seawater for straining
Physiological: whales have high concentrations of myoglobin in their blood (holds more oxygen than hemoglobin)= this makes it easier for whales to stay down longer; myoglobin also compresses easier to combat the high pressures of the deep sea, whales have thick layers of blubber to insulate them from the cold depths of the sea (cold oceans in general), rather than teeth, blues have baleen plates (keratin filters for krill) used for straining metric tons of krill (and other small marine life) out of the ocean
behavioral: blues use their tongue to push seawater out through baleen plates after their mouths are closed (for filtering), blues always feed in the highest populations of krill (since krill move, this means blues move, following the migrations of krill with currents); females are often larger and will hover over calves to protect their young (pods of blues will keep calves centrally with larger adults on the peripheral edges.
Due to evolution, whales are born with pelvic bones as well as the bones used to have arms, legs, fingers, and toes (the same bones as humans, cats, and bats.) Though they do not have any arms or legs, they still use these bones and have adapted to make them useful in their environment.

The blue, fin, minke, gray, and sperm whale. These whales are not only species that might be a variation of Humpback whales but are acknowledged to have interactions with Humpback whales.
One of the structural adaptations of the Palos Verdes Blue butterfly is the distinct spot patterns that mark its wings. These patterns help to confuse predators as to the nature of the butterfly, giving it time to evade predation.
that is a very scientific questiongo to this web site=www.animaldiversity.com to find out.=
How are blue whales adapted? How are blue whales adapted?
No. Blue whales only mate with other blue whales.
Blue whales are not herbivores. Instead, blue whales are carnivores. Blue whales diet consists of mainly Krill and Fish.
yes they are blue like all blue whales
nothing eats alive blue whales
Although blue whales tend to be solitary creatures, the correct term for a group of any whales, including blue whales, is a pod. e.g. A pod of blue whales suggests that multiple whales are together.
blue whales are classified as mammals.
Yes Blue Whales do have babies
Blue whales are not at all harmful.
Blue whales never attack humans and in most countries it is illegal to kill blue whales but in some countries they do kill blue whales it is very sad i know
