Depends on what type of whale you are taking into consideration. For instance baby killer whales are taken care of by their parents and live all their life in their family pod. Other whales take care of their young for 6-12 months after they are born and then they are off on their own.

Like most mammals, they give much care to their young. The mothers will milk-feed them for about a year and keep the calves near them for at least another year.

Very little is known about the mating and birthing habits of the whale shark, but probably not.

Yes they do. The mothers are very attentive to the babies. As mammals, of course they also feed the baby milk.
