Blue Whales

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.

some animals are allowed to be killed in certain states, but some animals that are in danger are not allowed to be hunted and kiled

Its the toughest alive today but there were sharks back then that were way tougher.

Two were Cretoxyrhina Mantelli and Carcharocles Megalodon. Cretoxyrhina grew up to 25 ft! Larger by two feet but that's still a pretty big deal! Carcharocles Megalodon could have been 65ft long(3 times the length of a 20 ft Great White Shark!) and weighed 100 tons!(As heavy as a blue whale!). This Shark was the Top predator. It also had a bite force of 20 tons!(It could crush a car in its jaw!), also supporting the idea it was the top predator of all time.

There are many types of whales but blue whales are a specific species (characterized mostly by it's physical appearance, being the largest type of whale). Other whales include sperm whales, beluga whales, narwhals, bottlenose whales and many more.

Its favorite food is "Krill". An Adult blue whale can kill upto 40 million krill per day. They can eat nearly 3500 kilograms of krill in a single day. They need nearly 1.5 million kilocalories of energy per day and so, they nearly eat nonstop. Small fish, crustaceans and squids too get caught when they trap krill in their mouth.

They scoop up large quantities of water into their mouth along with krill and other small aquatic creatures and then filters and push the water out. All remaining animals are swallowed.

So, if a sea horse is stuck in the pool of water it sucks up, then Yes.

They do not hunt at any particular time they hunt whenever.

Generally less than one. Pregnancy ls almost a year, and the cow might not mate the first year after the birth anyhow.

it takes 10-14 months for a whale to finish pregnancy

Let's compare the blue whale to a six foot tall, 160 pound male. A blue whale can measure 100 feet long, which is 16.66 times as long as a man is tall. Much more impressive, however, is the weight. A blue whale can weigh 210 tons. That is as much as 2,625 men of that size!

Blue Whales are the largest known living animal species on earth. Animals that were as large as 27 meters in length (nearly 90 feet) and weighing over 170 tonnes have been recorded. Since these animals were measured and weighed after they were cut up into manageable pieces, the actual size and weight could be even more

Blue whales - like all whales - do give live birth.

Blue Whales have many benefits to us humans. They help eat the krill in the ocean. If we didn't have blue whales, there would be a ton of krill in the ocean. Blue Whales have to eat about 3 tons of krill everyday.

Did You Know: That blue whales are in the endangered category and they are only an estimate of 2,000 to 5,000 left!

A blue whales tongue weight approximately 3 metric tons. The length of the skull on an average is around 19 feet and so the tongue can be around the same size. Its mouth is large enough to hold 90 metric tons of food and water.

The fastest thing on the ocean would be a speed boat. The fastest fish in the ocean is debatable the sailfish has been clocked at 70 mph, and the black marlin has been clocked at speeds of 80 mph.

In special cases certain fish may swim faster or slower, and who can say if those fish that were recorded were swimming their fastest. One thing is for sure, the fastest fish in the ocean, is definitely in the Istiophoridae (billfish) family.

Balaenids are large whales, with an average adult length of 15 to 17 metres (45-50 feet), and weighing 50-80 tonnes. Their principle distinguishing feature is their narrow, arched, upper jaw, which gives the animals a deeply curved jawline. This shape allows for especially long Baleenplates. which is why.. blue whales are placed in this family

There is no definite answer, but any answer applies to all sounds made underwater, whether by a blue whale or blue human. Low frequency sounds travel further. We know whales make low frequency sounds, like elephants, that we cannot hear, but they can.

Water temperature, salinity, and many other factors affect how far the whale can be heard. The question is poorly worded in that sense.

Whale communication is also adversely affected by sonar pulses, boat noises and a lot of other noise humans cause and use.

I imagine the whale is saying, "What's to eat where you are?" or "I'm horny, anyone out there wanna have some fun?" And I wouldn't limit it to a "he" whale!

Like all mammals, whales breathe air into lungs are warmblooded , feed their young with milk from mammary glands and have some hair although very little
Because that's the way they evolved. They are classed as mammals because they breathe air and give live birth.

Beluga whales are considered mammals because they have the characteristics of (almost all) mammals: live birth, suckle their young, etc

No, it is not safe to eat a cooked blue-ringed octopus. Blue-ringed octopuses are highly venomous, and their venom can be deadly to humans. Even cooking the octopus will not neutralize the venom, so consuming it can still be extremely dangerous. It is important to avoid handling or consuming any blue-ringed octopus to prevent potential harm.

The blue whale has several adaptations that help it survive in its habitat. They include blubber for warmth, a sleek shape for swimming and they never need to sleep.

A blue whale. Before whaling there were estimated to be 200000 to 300000 in artic and Antarctic waters. At up to 200 tonnes, they are the largest animal of any kind ever to have lived on earth including the largest of the dinosaurs

A blue whales tongue weight approximately 3 metric tons. The length of the skull on an average is around 19 feet and so the tongue can be around the same size. Its mouth is large enough to hold 90 metric tons of food and water.

In the Artic is very cold it's probably about 15 degrees Fahrenheit! In the warmer waters the weather is about 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit!

No. It is the largest carnivorous fish known to have existed, and quite possibly the largest shark to have ever lived. It is believed that the average size of the megalodon was between 12 metres (39 ft) and 18 metres (59 ft).

But the size of a modern female blue whale is over 30 mtrs (115 feet) which makes so far as we know the largest animal that has ever existed. ( Until we find fossils of something bigger).

So the Megalodon was probably bigger than some smaller whales but not the Blue whale.

Also since sharks don't have a bony skeleton this size is an estimation based on the assumption that the size to tooth ratio is the same of present large sharks but this could be in error.
