They don't. Because, Adult blue whales have no natural predators. They are too big and too strong to be attacked and killed by any animal. However, Orca's (Killer Whales) are known to attack and kill youngsters. A group of Orca's can easily hunt a baby blue whale if its mother is not around. Otherwise, they have no natural predators
A blue whale is so immense--the largest animal ever recorded to exist--that a fully grown blue whale has no natural predators, assuming we're going to exclude whalers. Killer whales couldattack and possibly kill a blue whale calf, because a blue whale calf is small enough to kill, and it would be traveling alone with its mother--not in a pod like most cetaceans do. It would become a simple matter of isolating the calf from its mom, but blue whales are definitely equipped to deal with an attack from a killer whale hunting pack.
First, there's the mother's gigantic pectoral fins and tail fin (fluke). An orca would be seriously injured if it got hit by one of her fins, and, since the calf always stays by its mother's side, the orcas would have to get close to the fins. So, the calf's constant proximity to its mother could also be considered a survival strategy. Lastly, blue whales have a thick layer of blubber that serves as a protective layer for their internal organs and stores fat. It'd be really hard for a killer whale to bite into, even if it was only targeting a calf, and, assuming the mother was anywhere nearby, the killer whale wouldn't have a chance to do much damage.
By the way, you have a picture of a whale shark with your question. It's the largest type of fish--but still dwarfed by the blue whale--and eats by sucking in water rich with zooplankton .

Humans are the biggest threat to blue whales. Nearly 90% of the world population of these animals were wiped out over the past century by humans by whaling.
Well, blue whales are not easy to kill or catch because of their speed and power. Because of their speed, early whalers hunted sperm and right whales.
They swim fast, and use their big jaws to eat their prey, and also use their tail to slap them.

Double No. Jaguars aren't known to be ocean swimmers, and blue whales are filter feeders.
they protect them selves by running away from their predeters. they can run very fast.
Blue whales don't need to protect themselves because their so big. They don't have any natural predators but their calves are vulnerable to killer whales. The only threat to adults are humans.
They use the same methods as us, and that is the wondrous things of condoms
