Whales

Despite their size, whales are often plankton eaters. Some, like the killer whale, eat fish and seals.

They aren't symbiotic : the barnacles (crustaceans related to crabs) are parasites on the whale's skin, and will also attach to boats, docks, and other marine locations.

The bone structure of the whale is relatively like other fish with the main bone being the skull and then a vertebra as well as ribs. ... The blue whalescan hold their breath for many hours however if they cannot reach the surface ... is weened, blue whales measure about 50 feet long and weigh approximately 50000 pounds.

Yes, whales have diaphragms which divide the thoracic and abdominal sections of their body.

The largest whale on record is the blue whale is that of 115 feet and weighing 136 tons.

Average whale sizes:

Orca whales can measure 32 feet and weigh 10 tons.

Blue whales can measure 106 feet and weigh 176 tons.

Finback whales can measure 82 feet and weigh 79 tons.

Sei whale can measure 51 feet and weigh 30 tons.

Right whale can measure 50 feet and weigh 110 tons.

Humpback whale can measure 52.5 feet and weigh 50 tons.

Sperm whale can measure 59 feet and weigh 44 tons.

Grey whale can measure 36 feet and weigh 35.5 tons.

Pilot whale can measure 20.3 feet and weigh 3 tons.

nothing really hunts the blue whale the only organism to really do damage to the blue whale is humans from when we use to hunt them for their oil but that was stopped 5 decades ago.

A fishs tail is also called the caudal fin.

Of course, both are animals, and so are similar in the ways all animals are - they eat, defecate, breathe, move, reproduce, grow, and have immune systems to try to protect from disease.

But if you want a similarity that's especially about those two genera (types) of animals, perhaps it would be their way of eating everything in an area. A swarm of army ants can cover an area and eat everything in their path; and humpback whales, after making nets of bubbles which scare the tiny animals they eat into a bunch, take gigantic mouthfuls of water - their mouths balloon out to over twice the size - and then spit the water out through their baleen, eating everything that was there.

As babies they mainly just have milk. When they grow older they eat fish.

females are cows and males are bulls.

Whales are killed by techniques of high powered rifles or electric shock. Whales take up to 30 minutes to die.

Whale pods vary by species, but most groups have from five to twenty individuals.

Whales are 60 million years old. The oldest whale is the bowhead whale. Bowhead whales are still around today. (I wrote a paper about whales.)

No but Soaps made from vegetable oils (such as olive oil), aromatic oils (such as thyme oil) and lye (al-Soda al-Kawia) were first produced by Muslim chemists.

The throat grooves (ventral pleats) expand when feeding, allowing a large volume of water and prey (e.g. krill, small schooling fish) to enter the buccal cavity (mouth). The grooves are contracted and the water forced out, trapping the prey in the hairy fringe of the baleen. The prey is then swallowed.

A barnacle is a crustacean so it has a shell.

The whales "song" is actually a mating call, produced by the male whale. i believe all whale males "sing"

The megalodon shark was estimated to be about 20 meters (60 feet) in size. Whales come in a broad variety of lengths. Ranging from 3 to 35 meters (10 to 100 feet), it is hard to say which kinds they could have eaten, although it is almost safe to say they did in fact eat certain kinds of whales.

The tuna is caught with huge nets by large fishing boats. The boats hunt the tuna through finding dolphins since the tuna run under the dolphins. They spread out nets and to round the fish up they set off small blasts in the water. This confuses the dolphins that are in the area and they begin to draw up the nets with big rollers on the ship. As they pull the net they collect the tuna and some of the dolphins. The dolphins try to jump out of the nets, get caught in the nets and drown, or are pulled in with the tuna. Eventually , the load of tuna is pulled in and placed in the hold of the ship. Some ships pack and can the tuna right there. Others take the tuna to packing houses. In recent years there have been efforts to stop the number of dolphin deaths in the process. Whether, this has really been done or not is debatable. This why some tuna companies cite on their product that the tuna is "dolphin safe".

Whales primarily feed on a diet that varies by species. Baleen whales, such as the blue whale and humpback whale, mainly consume small shrimp-like animals called krill, along with small fish and plankton. Toothed whales, like orcas and sperm whales, hunt larger prey, including fish, squid, and sometimes other marine mammals. Overall, their diet reflects their size and feeding strategies, with some species specializing in certain types of prey.

When a whale farts it creates man made bubbles (A.K.A tidal wave)

Yes, right whales do have enemies, primarily in the form of human activities. Collisions with vessels and entanglement in fishing gear pose significant threats to their survival. Additionally, changes in their habitat due to climate change and noise pollution can disrupt their feeding and breeding. While they may not have natural predators, these human-induced factors greatly impact their populations.

Yes. Because it goes to the supermarket and buys them every day.
