They mostly stay underwater for 3 to 8 minutes. However, longer periods of up to 30 minutes
50 to 80 minutes
A:a whale can stay under water for more than a hour. it can stay in water for about 50-80 minutes.
Up to 30 min.
The Sperm whale can hold its breath for up to 90 minutes. See the related link for more information.
It varies between each whale.
Some river-dwelling cetaceans, such as the baiji and the Indus river dolphin, can only hold their breaths for up to five minutes. However, the fin whale can hold its breath for up to twenty minutes, whereas the giant sperm whale can hold its breath for as long as two hours (though the average duration seems to be about forty to ninety minutes). It really does depend on many factors, such as the environment of the whale, how deep it has to dive to hunt, the size of the whale and the age of the whale.
From 20 minutes to 2 hours.
Whale blood holds more oxygen than human blood. Also, taking several deep breaths before it dives adds extra oxygen to a whale's blood. During the dive, the whale draws on this stored up supply of oxygen. When it's gone, the whale returns to the surface to breathe.
Whales do not have especially large lungs, they just make use of the lungs they do have. When we breathe, we fill about one fourth of our lungs with air. When whales breathe in, the air fills almost all of their lungs. Also, whales use up the air in their lungs a lot slower than we do. That's because a whale's heart beat gets slower when it dives; a slow heart beat helps stretch out the supply of air.
At least 2 minutes
Yes. A whale can stay underwater for an hour.
Paint does not affect how long the turtle can stay underwater..
A whale CAN drown- they cannot stay underwater indefinitely. When underwater, they hold their breath. They are REALLY good at holding their breath, and their bodies have adapted to doing that.
Since a whale shark is really a shark rather than a whale (mammal) it does all its breathing through its gills. Although a whale shark can come to the surface, it does not need to do so in order to breath like a whale would. With that in mind, a whale shark can stay underwater from the moment it is born until the minute it dies of injury, disease, or old age. Since the life expectancy of a whale shark is around 70 years, that works out to be around 36,792,000 minutes.
A penguin can stay underwater for about 15 minutes and can go to a depth of 1700 feet.
20min
about a minute
It varies on the type of whale, but about 20 minutes is a good average.
Yes whales can stay under water for more than an hour, unless they are still babies then they need to have oxygen sooner.
Adult gray whales can stay underwater for approximately 10 - 15 minutes.
they will be dead
It depends on the type of frog how long they can stay underwater. Some can stay underwater for their whole lives while some only stay for about 10 minutes.
