Is a giraffe taller than a T-rex?
There are a lot of types of dinosaurs, so it depends what kind of dinosaur you are talking about.
The tallest known dinosaurs were a lot taller than the tallest giraffes.
Adult giraffes can reach a height of about 5-6 meters depending on the individual. The largest and tallest dinosaurs are found in the 'long neck' group the Sauropoda. Unfortunately the dinosaurs thought to be the tallest are very incomplete so there is uncertainly as to their exact dimensions. There is also uncertanty as to how much range of motion the tallest dinosaurs had in their necks, which effects how tall they would be.
The dinosaur Giraffatitan is probably the most complete tall dinosaur. It might have been able to reach about 14m in height (This is dependant on how much range of motion there was in its neck).
Sauroposeidon is another contender but is only known from fragmentry remains. It is estimated that it might have been able to reach 17m in height.

How much whales get caught a day?
Not many... whales know how to stay clear of boats. In fact, they are quite difficult to hit when you are trying. This issue is not a reason why whales are endangered. The more serious issue is whaling.
Both have a similar shape that is streamlined, and both use "wings" (planes in submarine terrms) to adjust their movement as they're propelled through their respective mediums (air and water).
Where and when do the blue whales mate?
Any animal can physically mate with another animal of a different species, but two animals of different species cannot reproduce. The definition of a species is 'a taxonomic group whose members can interbreed'. There are some exceptions (e.g. Horses and donkeys, which can interbreed to produce mules), but whales are not one of them.
While blue whales and orcas are both whales, they are two different species of animal, therefore they cannot reproduce.
By sheer difference in size if nothing else this would be impossible. BUT Killer whales or Orcas are not whales but actually Dolphins.

How does a whale hold its breath?
Whales don't breath underwater.They hold their breath underwater instead.Whales are mammals like us.They have lungs like us so they need to breath air above the water like we do.
A whale can hold it's breath for up to half an hour underwater and thats only because it's lungs are huge.Our lungs only partly fill with air.A whale uses it's blowhole to breathe in air and when you see water spurting from a whale blowhole thats just the water vapour from the whale's lungs and any water around the blowhole.they need oxygen like us.If we didn't get oxygen we will die.
