Blue Whales

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

the animal with the longest lifespan is the giant tortoise with 152 years. Runners up include: the box turtle with 123 years, the elephant with 69 years, and the horse with 50 years.

Mainly fish and squid. Some fish are herring, mackerel and cod, but the others eat squid. Larger dolphins, such as Orcas (Killer Whales), eat other marine animals such as sea lions or sea turtles. How much they eta, depends on the amount of fat in each fish they are eating.

A big blue whale can be 100 feet long and weigh up to 150 tons. That's as large as a Boeing jet.

Adult Humpback Whales range in length from 12 to 16 metres (39 to 52 ft) and weigh approximately 36,000 kilograms (79,000 lb (35 tons)

We can recycle and not kill them for there blubber and oil.

Whales, dolphins, and porpoises are mammals that breath air. The problem they have is when they beach themselves on land; then without water to support their bodies, they collapse on their lungs and die, also from exposure to the elements.

People.

It used to be hunting. Now we're killing the whale's food (krill) with a combination of overfishing and warming the planet.

People catch about 200,000 tons of krill per year.

As if catching all the krill isn't bad enough, climate change is melting sea ice, which is where the krill's food lives. So, a warming ocean kills off marine algae, which means that krill numbers drop, which means that blue whale numbers drop.

Blue whales communicate with each other by using a series if high frequency sounds that can only be herd by their species. The also use other ways to communicate by flapping their fins and tail in a certain way. The baby whales learn those things form their mothers like we learn words when we are babies.

Because they are both blue.

Maybe so they can blend in and because blue oceans are big

Because they are whales and are meant to live in the ocean, just like humpback whales or any other whale lives in the ocean.

A group of whales is called a pod no matter what kind they are.

It is possible to, as they are not hostile to humans. However it would be extremely dangerous. The whale views you as you would view an insect, it is an unreal amount bigger and heavier than a human. So although it most likely won't harm a person (as long as they don't fear for their calf), it is very capable of killing u by accident.

The gestation period is around 10 to 12 months. Females typically give birth to one calf every two to three years at the start of winter. The new born is 2.5 metric tons heavy and is around 7 meters long at birth. He drinks nearly 400 liters of milk every day and gains around 100 kilos of weight almost every day when he grows

Offcourse just like all other vertebrate animals.

the average blue whale is 18 metres longer than a salt water crocodile.

to be honest i have no idea but i do know its about the size of a car now thats pretty big

blue whales have baleen this is a type of broom bristle fiber and it is only located on the top of its mouth this helps it swallow its favorite fish herring.

Yes, the blue whale is the biggest creature to live on the Earth.

Like all animals, whales need oxygen, which they get by coming to the surface to get a breath of air. They need water, which they drink from the ocean, and then they filter out the excess salt through their kidneys. They also need food, which, for most whales, means krill or small fish. Most species of whale can only get food from the polar regions, and therefor their habitats their need to be protected. During the winter, most whales move south to tropical or subtropical waters to breed. These areas must also be protected. The primary threat to whales is human whalers, which, thanks to an international treaty, has almost ceased. However, Japanese whalers are still taking their toll on the whale population. For people to protect whales, the Japanese must stop whaling soon.

Sure in the same way dolphins are related to pigs....

they are (or in the case of mammoths were) mammals.

Blue whales are absolutely harmless due to their large mass and weight.

A blue whale is about 3300 centimeters long.

The whales with teeth are called toothed whales. The ones that don't have teeth are called baleen whales. Baleen whales use filters to drain out water from plankton.

Only one. The same as every whale or dolphin.

The newborn blue whale calf weighs about 2.5 metric tons (2.8 short tons) and is around 7 metres (23 ft) in length.

A newborn sperm whale calf is about 13 feet (4 m) long and weighs about 1 ton (0.9 tonnes).
