Whales

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.

There is no capital of whales as whales are a species of mammal who inhabit the sea also wales is a country not a city kakaar

Yes! Whales are large aquatic mammals of the order cetacea. Though whaling (or whale hunting) nearly drove them to extinction, the International Moratorium on Commercial Whaling has protected them, and now their numbers are slowly coming back. There are two orders of whale, Balinidae, or baleen whales, and Ocedonte, or toothed whales. Though both orders are carnivores, they feed quite differently. Baleen whales filter krill, a small crustacean, from the water with large plates of a horny substance called baleen. The blue whale is a well known member of this family. Toothed whales eat mostly squid, and the sperm whale is probably the best known example.

Yes, SeaWorld rescued a stranded gray whale calf named Jay Jay. Which they studied in SeaWorld until it was well again. They released it though.

The surroundings where whales are found is often times open ocean. Whales are known to lift their heads above the water to take in the surrounding scenery and gauge where they are, and to see what is around them. This action is also seen in dolphins and other similar ocean mammals.

A lot

Bottlenosed dolphins eat a wide variety of squid, fish, and crustaceans such as shrimp. They usually eat 4% to 5% of their body weight in food per day, however a nursing mother's intake could be up to 8%.

I group of whales is called a pod. Although they are not technically whales, cetaceans such as dolphins, orcas and porpoises also travel in pods.

Mostly humans, although octopus are also known to kill whales.

Whales and dolphins are mammals and must breathe air to survive. Furthermore, unlike humans and other mammals, they are 'voluntary breathers', which means they must physically remember to go to the surface and breathe!

Depending on the species of whale or dolphin, lung capacity differs. But, they all return to the surface of the water, open a blowhole on the top of their heads (a watertight valve) expel air and quickly take in new before going down below the water's surface.

Through their blowhole.

• yes,some do

they are endangered species, they are illegal in the United states, in other countries its illegal, only a few countries can hunt whales. hope this helps.

The blue whale. It is the biggest animal on Earth.

To Maori the whale is a symbol of prosperity. The catching or finding of a whale meant a huge boon to a community in terms of both food and material.

The entire whale is edible and is found to be consumed in Japan, Fore Islands, Norway and Iceland. The best part of the whale is its fatty tale, but the skin, organs and blubber can also be prepared and eaten in various ways.

Vineyard Vines makes shirts with a whale logo. It is a nautical-preppy clothing company. Here is their website: http://www.vineyardvines.com/ where you can find their clothing.

1 hour

About 20-30 minutes.

at the end of the dolphins "tail" is called a fluke

a female whale is a cow and male is a bull

Oarfish are bigger than some whales but smaller than others. An oarfish can measure up to 17 meters in length, a dwarf sperm whale only grows up to 2.7 meters, but a blue whale can reach 33 meters.

Adult Humpback whales are known to have an average lifespan of around 50 to 60 years. For decades man has hunted them extensively and hence we really do not know what their actual life expectancy is. Researchers recently discovered that a whale nearly 200 years old was captured near Alaska.

No.They eat a tiny sea creatures - krill or plankton. An Adult blue whale can eat up to 40 million creatures per day - that's nearly 3500 kilograms of it.. They need 1.5 million kilocalories of energy per day and so, they eat nonstop.

2) The Orca, or killer whale, is the largest of the 32 species of dolphin and isn't really a whale at all. While whales eat plankton, Orcas feed on schools of fish, marine mammals, and even an occasional whale. They are "apex" predators and are often referred to as the wolves of the sea because they live and hunt in pods like packs of wolves. They attack their prey from all sides at once.

1) no, they are solitary animals- unless its mating season and if they have young.

they swim along with open mouths sometimes (for plankton) but other times (for seals) they go up in front of them to eat them

No but there is a Great White Shark.
