Whales

According to WhaleFacts and National Geographic there are over 85 different species of krill. The type of krill favored by whales is going to vary according to the type of whale and where they feed.

The animals that have blubber are: whales, seals, sea lions, elephant seals, walruses and 40% of Americans most aquatic and/or semi-aquatic animals.

Don't forget penguins, a lot of seabird chicks have a heavy blubber layer which is lost before fledging.

Most animals with blubber live in freezing and/or arctic climates.

A blue whale has a baby every 2-3 years usually in the spring.

when feed is around

five hundred gallons

Yes , in fact a lot of animals eat Blue Whales . Like Killer Whales, Great White Sharks, and Polar Bears (if theyre strong enough).

As in the dinosaurs they just did. No one knows. There are several possibilaties as in meteor shower, famine, no water, cave man killig, or they never had kids. These are the most likely anwsers. But as in the animals today, they are still here. God created them at the beginning of time. then the dinosaurs, then us!

Oceans look blue becausethey reflect the sky, which is obviously blue.

Yes that's part of the answer, but there are other effects. For example, water absorbs light more easilyat the red end of the spectrum.

If you go just outside the Boston Harbor area you can find Humpback, Finback, and Minke whales. These are the types of whales you commonly see on the Boston Harbor whale watch cruises in addition to dolphins.

The time to watch is seasonal. From Jan to May you can see whales within the Cape Cod Bay area and after that better chances are further out to sea or towards the mid-atlantic or south-eastern coast.

For details you can check out the website (sponsored by the New England Aquarium) for the Boston Habor whale watch cruises.

people are whaling or hunting the whales for oil piano keys [from there teeth] and food

Gorillas have hair, fingers, and climb trees; whales do not have these things.

No.

They've grown too Heavy, lost too much supporting structures inside their bodies.

Without the gentle support of water, they die after some hours on land.

Alive, or ever to have lived, the blue whale is the largest creature. Larger than the largest dinosaur that we know of, it has a heart the size of a car, a tongue as big as an elephant, and blood vessels large enough that you could swim through them. This is worth watching...http://www.extremescience.com/BlueWhale.htm

a killer whale

Yes. The toothed-whale group also includes porpoises, dolphins, killer whales and narwhals.

Arms? Do you mean fins?

Krill help whales by satisfying their appetite, and a type of fish called doctor fish help clean blue whales by eating the barnacles off whales skin.

i think you're talking about barnacles

a group of dolphins is called a pod.

Whales do not lay eggs. They are mammals and give birth to live young after pregnancy of the female whale. Normally only one calf is born at a time.

As mammals, whales have 'eggs' in the form of ova, reproductive cells stored in the ovaries, waiting to be fertilised. They are not much bigger a human ovum, around 0.12mm in diameter.

*The sharks known as "whale sharks" (not actual whales) were once thought to lay eggs. However, it was later discovered that (like other sharks) it is ovoviviparous, with hundreds of young that hatch internally before being released all at one time, when they are one or two feet long.

Some species of whale near New Zealand would be: Souther Right Whale, Minke Whale, Bryde's Whale, Blue Whale, Fin Whale, Humpback Whale, Pygmy Right Whale, Spectacled Porpoise, Sperm Whale, Pygmy Sperm Whale, Dwarf Spermy Whale, Cuvier's Beaked Whale, Giant Beaked Whale, Shepherd's Beaked Whale, Bottlenose Whale, Andrew's Beaked Whale, Blainville's Beaked Whale, Ginkgo-toothed Beaked Whale, Hector's Beaked Whale, Layard's Beaked Whale and the Pilot Whale.

Baby whales stay with their families when they are born, they are nursed by their mothers and whales usually have only 1 baby at a time.

Belugas mostly stay in Artic waters near Canada, Alaska, Greenland and Russia. The furthest south they will migrate is near Quebec and the Sea of Okhotsk.

yes... a really long time ago that's where people used to get oil from. They kill whales then do something to it.

A beached whale is one that is accidently washed up onto the shore. It then gets stuck on the beach, which explains "beached" whale. Often beached whales cannot get back out by themselves. Sometimes people push them back. Sometimes the whales die. A whale that has been washed up on a beach, island, or seashore.
