Do whales breathe air with there gilles?
Whales are mammals who breathe air into their lungs. Blowholes are a whale's nostrils and are located on the top or back of the whale's head. Blowholes are covered by muscular flaps that keep water from entering them when the whale is under water. In the relaxed state, the flap covers the blowhole. A blowhole leads to the whale's trachea and then to its lungs. Unlike us, whales cannot breathe through their mouth; they only breathe through their blowholes.
How does a whale get its oxygen?

What do whales breathe out of?
Whales breathe in and out of their blowhole. They are unable to breathe through their mouth because the trachea is not attached to the throat.
Is greater pressure exerted inside the whales body or outside the blowhole?
Greater pressure is exerted inside the whale's body, particularly in the lungs, compared to the pressure outside the blowhole. When a whale surfaces to breathe, it rapidly expels air from its lungs, which is under higher pressure than the atmospheric pressure outside. This pressure differential allows the whale to forcefully expel water vapor and air through the blowhole.
How big is a whales blow hole?
A whale's blowhole is typically around the size of a basketball. This opening is connected to the whale's respiratory system and is used to expel air when the whale comes to the surface to breathe.
