During a test conducted in the early 90's the Univeristy of Gullabull conducted a study and proved that Wales do indeed backflip as this was a defense mechanism to deflect the torpeddos from the japenese whalers. It was later found out that they have a titanium underplate that insome cases can DEFLECT and then INFLECT towards the predators. Thanks :)
They "jump"(really they just propel themselves out of the water) for many unproven reasons. The theories are: to get rid of an itch(yeah,I know,it's hard to imagen) to look around,to attact the opposite gender or for pure pleasure.
They do this to see what is happening above the water it is not showmanship as it seems to be
It is a kind of communication and very rarely used when hunting large prey
They may be going too fast upward for air but cannot stop at such a great speed.
2 - It is also a way of ridding the whale of barnacles clinging to the whale's skin .
No one really knows but we think it might be a form of play or trying to get Parasites off their tails.
no they cant
yes.
No. Sharks, being fish, have vertical tails, while whales, being mammals, have horizontal tails.
whales,whales stop cutting of thier tails.....
Whales' tails move up and down when they swim, just like peoples' legs.
yes they do
whales whales stop cutting off their tails
The nouns are: tail's, splash, water. The pronoun is: him
Sort of. The Sperm whales tail is about 6-7 metres long.
either to scare away enemies or attract other whales
whale watching is really for humpback whales they breach which means that they jump out of the water and splash with their tails its really cool to see scientists watch HUMPBACK WHALES because on the back of their tail flukes, there is a black and white pattern and each humpback whale has a different pattern, scientists observe those to recognize whales, and see where whales travel, if they had any babies stuff like that you know, to collect data, but tourists just watch for the breaching
They have the tail and their flippers. Some whales have vestigial(undeveloped) leg bones embedded in their tails.
yes yes
All whales are propelled through the water by the up and down movement of their tails.
