Best Answer

Whales live in all the world's oceans, and some smaller ones in various zoos and artificial habitats.

The largest numbers of whales live in the cooler regions of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and many in the polar oceans (Arctic, Southern, and southern Indian Oceans). The cooler waters enable the larger species to release excess body heat, which is considerable given their size and metabolism, and most feed on the very small animals (such as krill) that live there.

Because of their very low Birth Rate, large whales can be greatly reduced in population by hunting, so many countries now have restrictions or outright bans on whaling in their territories. Agreements have been enacted to cover international waters as well.
