Yes, whales do release carbon dioxide, primarily when they exhale. Like all mammals, they breathe in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide as a byproduct of cellular respiration. Additionally, when whales die and their bodies sink to the ocean floor, they can release stored carbon back into the environment, contributing to the carbon cycle. Overall, while their direct emissions are relatively small, their role in the marine ecosystem has implications for carbon sequestration.

How are mushrooms and whales alike?

Both Humpback whales and mushrooms are heterotrophic. A heterotroph is an organism that cannot fix carbon from inorganic sources (such as carbon dioxide) but uses organic carbon for growth (Fungi decompose organic matter, whales eat krill).

Why do whales have blood that can hold a lot of carbon dioxide?

well they take a huge breathe, then hang out under water for a while. Carbon dioxide is what Mammals breathe out after taking in oxygen. hence if they could not hold alot of carbon dioxide... they would probably die.
