When the blue whale eats the food he swallows all of it but then all the water comes out of a hole in the top of their body when he/she come up for air. They have a special tube that lets only the water escape threw the whole and none of their food flies out.

IS A BLUE WHALE A FILTER FEEDER?
Yes. The blue water takes in large amounts of water and krill into it's mouth and pushes out the water through filters, also called baleen, in it's mouth, leaving the krill, or plankton behind, which the whale then swallows. It's easier for the whale to swallow the krill, if it does not have to swallow a lot of water with it.

How does a whale without teeth eat its food?
Most whales eat by sucking in a massive mouthful of water and then spitting it back out without opening their mouths properly. Bony plates called baleen at the front of the mouth strain out food as the water passes back out of the whale's mouth. The whale then swallows all the food (krill, shrimp etc.) that was in the water it sucked in, without swallowing the water.
