How do whales lay eggs or live birth?

whales are marine mammals so they give birth. No eggs.All whales are mammals. They conceive and carry their young inside of them much like a human mother. The calf, baby whale, is born in the water. The mother whale nurses the calf, as well. Whales do not lay eggs,like turtles do,that their young hatch from. Whales only have 1 calf every 9-16 months. If they did lay eggs, the whales would probably have to leave the eggs on the ocean floor, since they couldn't get on the beach.They give birth to live whales who haveto swim up fast to breathe.
