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?

Actually, whales DO drink milk. They are mammals. All mammals drink milk. They are called "mammals" because they have "mammary" glands which produce milk.
* I believe it depends on the size of the whale. Blue whale (largest mammal) calves drink between 100-150 gallons of milk daily.
This is very true above. It totally depends on the size of the baby willow you got sucking on that teat. The bigger the Willow the bigger the amount of milk
