Where would you find blue whales?

Answer 1

The correct answer would be both Altantic and Pacific...

Long and slender, the blue whale's body can be various shades of bluish-grey dorsally and somewhat lighter underneath. There are at least three distinct subspecies: B. m. musculus of the North Atlantic and North Pacific, B. m. intermedia of the Southern Ocean and B. m. brevicauda (also known as the pygmy blue whale) found in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific Ocean. B. m. indica, found in the Indian ocean, may be another subspecies. As with other baleen whales, its diet consists almost exclusively of small crustaceans known as krill.

Blue whales were abundant in nearly all the oceans on Earth until the beginning of the twentieth century. For over a century, they were hunted almost to extinction by whalers until protected by the international community in 1966. A 2002 report estimated there were 5,000 to 12,000 blue whales worldwide, located in at least five groups. More recent research into the Pygmy subspecies suggests this may be an underestimate. Before whaling, the largest population was in the Antarctic, numbering approximately 239,000 (range 202,000 to 311,000). There remain only much smaller (around 2,000) concentrations in each of the North-East Pacific, Antarctic, and Indian Ocean groups. There are two more groups in the North Atlantic, and at least two in the Southern Hemisphere.

Answer 2

They like cold deep oceans and can be found in all major oceans of the world, however due to commercial whaling (Now banned) their numbers have been greatly reduced.

• Until the beginning of the twentieth century, blue whales were abundant in nearly all the oceans on Earth .

• However, for over a century, they were hunted almost to extinction by whalers until protected by the international community in 1966.

• An 2002 report estimated there were 5,000 to 12,000 blue whales worldwide located in at least five groups. Before whaling, the largest population was in the Antarctic. There remain only much smaller concentrations in each of the eastern North Pacific, Antarctic, and Indian Ocean groups. There are two more groups in the North Atlantic, and at least two in the Southern Hemisphere.

• The blue whale is a marine mammal belonging to the baleen whales. At 30 metres in length and 170 tonnes or more in weight, it is the largest known animal ever to have existed.

Blue Whales can be found in almost every sea and ocean in the world. They were the most widely spread whale species until Man started hunting them down. They were once in numbers of around 200,000 or more and now there are only 20,000 or so animals left in the wild.

They can be found in areas that are abundant in "Krill" their favorite prey species.

They don't live in family groups. They are solitary animals. They are known to be along one or two individuals at most and that too only for short periods of time. Either the Atlantic, north atlantic, or pacific.

It is also found in arctic ocean. Arctic ocean has a largs variety of fish too.

Answer 3

They feed in polar waters and travel through the open ocean. They are often seen overwintering in the sea of cortez.

Answer 4

Blue whales are mostly found in deep oceans such as the Atlantic ocean and the Pacific Ocean, however they are never found on the Coastlines.

HOPE THAT HELPED! :)
