What are the adaptations of a whale?

Answer 1

Blue Whales actually have a lot of different adaptations. One is that, instead of teeth, they have small fingernail-like material called baleen on their upper jaws. This allows them to take a big gulp of water, and, using their huge tongue, push out the water and swallow all the krill that was in it. They also have something called blubber, which is what keeps them from sinking-blubber is less dense than water, so it floats. Blue whales' size actually helps them, as well. They seem quite threatening to predators, and this helps keep quite a few of them away. And that's not all. They can hear and communicate to other whales up to 1,000 miles away. There are many more, but these are just a few

Answer 2

Whales have evolved from land dwelling creatures to a marine mammal. Over the time it took to evolve, they have made many adaptations. A few of the adaptations they have made are, the thick layers of blubber, modified lungs, larger arteries and better hearing.

Answer 3

To help them adapt to the ocean whales developed echolocation, thick layers of blubber, modified lungs, better hearing and larger arteries among other things to ensure their survival and prosperity. Over the course of their evolution whales have made many adaptations towards their oceanic lifestyle.

Answer 4

Well whales have many adaptations. They have blubbery skin to keep them selves warm, and they have big fins to swim. Whales swim by beating their powerful tails up and down.

A blue whale has throat grooves that expand like pleats to take in vast amounts of water.

Answer 5

Whales have thick blubber to keep them warm in the cold ocean. Whales have a slow metabolism so they can dive deep for food.
