What is a peduncle on a whale?

The peduncle area on a whale, is from the Dorsal fin to the Tail.

Does a whale eat plants?

Whales are carnivores. They either hunt and eat fish or they filter small animals out of the water and eat those. There might be some plants and seaweed mixed in with what they catch, but they are not eating those on purpose. Whales and dolphins eat meat.

Why do big animals like whales eat such small animals like plakton?

That answer above did not really answer the question at all. The reason that the largest animals eat the smallest is due to energy lost with each level up the foodchain. As you go each level up on the foodchain approximately 10% of energy is lost as heat. Only a small portion of energy is conserved as biomass. Thus in order for a large animal to get enough energy it would need a very large supply of its food source which is most readily available in the form of small animals at the bottom of the foodchain such as krill.

If a barnacle fell off a whale what would happen to it?

Depends greatly on where it lands. If it goes outside of its normal range of depth, it could die due to being crushed. And Barnacles don't normally live on whales, they grow on items that are very near the surface and may be in the tidal range. You find them on ships, rocks and piers.

What things does the raiforest produce?

Tropical rainforests produce, most importantly, 40% of the earth's oxygen. Rainforests today cover less than 6% of the world's surface and yet scientists estimate that more than half of all of the earth's plant and animal live in these rainforests. The three largest rainforests are located in South America, Africa, and Asia. Probably the best known, is the rainforest in Brazil which is in grave danger of destruction by industrialists. Approximately 25% of all of the medicines that we use come from rainforest plants. An example of this is curare which comes from a tropical vine. It is used as an anesthetic and to relax muscles during surgery. Also, quinine, which is used to treat malaria is produced from the cinchona tree. There are many more examples of plants that produce medicines that grow only in our rainforests.

What is the purpose of Baleen?

Baleen whales eat krill, zooplankton and small fish swarming in large schools. Because baleen whales have no teeth, they are believed to uses their enormous tongue to move food trapped inside the baleen, to squeeze water out of the mouth, and to assist the action of swallowing.

What is a Blue Whale's environment?

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.

What is a rostrum?

A rostrum is a raised or elevated platform or pulpit usually for addressing an audiance

As related to biology is a beaklike process or extension of some part. For example, the great white shark, it is pointed above the nose, that is the rostrum.

What is the relationship between self-mutilation and suicide?

The relationship of self-mutilation to suicide is still debated even though statistics show that nearly 50% of individuals who injure themselves also attempt suicide at some point in their lives.

What is the attention span of a whale?

The attention span of a whale is not well understood, as it can vary depending on the species and situation. Some studies suggest that certain whale species have the ability to focus on tasks or stimuli for extended periods, while others may have a more limited attention span. Overall, whales are known for their intelligence and complex behaviors.

What is a whales average lifespan?

The average lifespan varies by each different species of whale. For example, a bowhead whale can live to 130 years old.Compare to gray whales who can only live 1/3 of that.

Why dolphins and whales do not have gills?

Dolphins and whales are mammals, not fish, so they do not have gills. They breathe air through blowholes on the top of their heads, just like humans breathe through their noses. This allows them to dive deep into the ocean and still come up to the surface to breathe.

Did whales come before humans?

Answer 1

Whales first evolved roughly 54 million years ago.Homo sapiens (modern humans) evolved roughly 4 million years ago.

Answer 2

Whales and humans share a common ancestry in the clade of Boreoeutheria, dating back some 65 million years. By my best estimate, that's when the lineages leading to modern humans and modern whales went their separate ways.

Modern whales, like the blue whale, form a diverse group of species, just like modern apes, like the humans, form a diverse group of species. On a geological timescale, there may not be much difference between the emergence of the modern species of whale from their basal clades and the emergence of modern species of ape from their basal clades.

Comparing the emergence of modern humans to the emergence of whales isn't really a useful comparison. It's like comparing the emergence of vehicles to the emergence of the Audi A3.

Is a whale in the Phylum Chordata?

Yes, whales are chordates. They are also vertebrates, meaning they have a skeletal system.

However, there is more to it than that, especially given that there are two invertebrate chordate groups - Urochordata (tunicates) and Cephalachordata (lancelets) - whose backbone is not in the form of actual vertebrae.

As Chordates (or members of the phylum Chordata), whales share the following characteristics:

  • dorsal nerve cord which is a bundle of nerve fibres which runs down the back. It connects the brain with the lateral muscles and other organs.
  • notochordwhich is a cartilaginous rod running underneath, and supporting, the nerve cord - in the case of the whale, a spine.
  • post-anal tail - an extension of the body past the anal opening. (This feature is not always present in some adult Chordates such as frogs and humans, but it is present in the whale.)
  • Pharyngeal pouches - Chordates, at some stage of their life, have pharyngeal grooves and pouches that develop into other essential parts of their anatomy.

What specie is the whale in?

Whales are a diverse group of marine mammals belonging to the order Cetacea. There are many different species of whales, including the blue whale, humpback whale, sperm whale, and killer whale.
