What are the adaptations of a whale?

Blue Whales actually have a lot of different adaptations. One is that, instead of teeth, they have small fingernail-like material called baleen on their upper jaws. This allows them to take a big gulp of water, and, using their huge tongue, push out the water and swallow all the krill that was in it. They also have something called blubber, which is what keeps them from sinking-blubber is less dense than water, so it floats. Blue whales' size actually helps them, as well. They seem quite threatening to predators, and this helps keep quite a few of them away. And that's not all. They can hear and communicate to other whales up to 1,000 miles away. There are many more, but these are just a few

How do ocra whales interact?

For killer whales, the answer is....practically everything. That makes it sound like they'll eat anything, and they will, but not always willingly. Orcas in different parts of the world eat different things, and that's all they eat. The obvious example of particular eating is the residents (salmon-eaters) and transients (mammal-eaters) of BC. But orcas in other parts of the world are also specialized eaters, and this is what makes them unique. Since other countries haven't studied orcas as extensively as BC, much of what we know of orcas around the world has come from their diet.

Is the blue whale bigger than the megalodon?

No. It is the largest carnivorous fish known to have existed, and quite possibly the largest shark to have ever lived. It is believed that the average size of the megalodon was between 12 metres (39 ft) and 18 metres (59 ft).

But the size of a modern female blue whale is over 30 mtrs (115 feet) which makes so far as we know the largest animal that has ever existed. ( Until we find fossils of something bigger).

So the Megalodon was probably bigger than some smaller whales but not the Blue whale.

Also since sharks don't have a bony skeleton this size is an estimation based on the assumption that the size to tooth ratio is the same of present large sharks but this could be in error.
