A baby humpback whale drinks 130 gallons of water a day WOW!!!!!

I do not think the baby drinks that much salt water, and if you meant milk, that would be over a half a ton of high fat (40 - 50%) milk per day. Since the mother does not eat in the birthing area for at least a couple of months, this would probably kill the mother within two months at that rate of milk production! Do you probably mean 130 pounds of milk per day?
