How do whales behavioral adapt?

Answer 1

Sperm whales are found in many open oceans, both in tropical and cool waters. Sperm whales live at the surface of the ocean but dive very deeply to catch the giant squid . Sperm whales also stick their tail out of the water into the air, swing it around, and then slap it on the water's surface; this is called lobtailing. It makes a very loud sound. The meaning or purpose of lobtailing is unknown, but may be done as a warning to the rest of the pod or as some other type of communication. Sperm whales use echolocation to catch their prey in the dark oceanic depths. Mothers also use it it keep track of their young calf when they are diving to hunt; a calf cannot dive very deeply because it has to breathe much more frequently than the mother does. It is estimated that there are about 200,000 sperm whales world-wide. Sperm whales are considered an endangered species. These whales (and many other large whales) were over-hunted for many years, since their meat, oil, and other body parts are very valuable. Since whale hunting has decreased in the last few decades, their populations are starting to recover. The ribcage is flexible to allow lung collapse, and the heart rate can decrease to preserve oxygen supplies when diving deep. The head is filled with a clear liquid wax called spermaceti. The whale can make this vibrate which goes through the water to stun the fish.

Answer 2

killer whales are usually cruise at much slower speeds, less than 13 kph ( 8 mph).

Answer 3

it adapts by making a new kind of life

Answer 4

Killer whales within a pod may rank themselves and establish dominance by slapping their tails against the water, head-butting, jaw-snapping, biting, raking (tooth-scratching), and various other vigorous postures and gestures.

Answer 5

a mother killer whale stays close to her newborn calf and attentively directs it's movements.
