What are some of the blue whale adaptations?

Answer 1

· Blue whales use their tongues to push water out of their mouths through the baleen plates to trap Krill inside.

· They always try to find large populations of Krill to feed on. To do this, they migrate to areas where there are more Krill. They usually feed 100 metres below sea level because that's where most Krill populations are present. They eat as much as they can during the feeding season to build up body fat that they live off during migration.

· Whales migrate to warmer waters for mating and giving birth. This is believed to be because their calves usually don't have enough blubber to protect themselves from the cold.

· Mother whales hover over their young ones to protect them.

· Blue whales form short term couples during the mating season. Their relationships only last for as long as five weeks.
