Whales

The whale that has a distinctive tusk is a narwhal it is native to the arctic ocean

Because the FDA has little control over the $50 billion dollar industry of cosmetics the only feat that the FDA could put a stop too was 'mercury' in many cosmetics. Yes, there is whale fat, but also fish scales in those nice shiny, flecked lipsticks young women like to wear and there is a small amount of lead, but according to the FDA such a low amount it will not harm or cause cancer in humans. Since the FDA has admitted they have little control over cosmetic companies because of 'loop holes,' it's possible that that statement is not entirely accurate. Even though there are many stores that carry natural cosmetics this doesn't mean they don't have ingredients in them that can possibly harm a person. Some cosmetic companies have joined the 'safe costmetics organization' and stand behind their products.

Well...it depends on the ages of said whales.

Young whales (preteens and younger) tend to enjoy those songs of the Disney variety. i.e- Jonas brothers, Hannah Montana, camp rock, high school musical, etc.

Older whales (teens/young adults- mid-adulthood) enjoy popular tunes.

Whales 50 and older enjoy the 'classics' consisting on Barry Manilow, Dolly Parton, Aretha Franklin, George Michaels, The Beatles, etc.

Although different kinds of whales enjoy different types of tunes, you're guaranteed to be serenaded by a sweet song wherever you are in the sea.

I hope this helped

They produce their own heat just as you do but instead of a coat and sweater they have blubber under their skin to help keep them warm. Being in water draws heat away from the body.

Whales are protected with criminal and civil laws. Unfortunately, there is little to be done to those who are caught killing whales. Most action takes the form of public statements discouraging the behavior.

Blue Whale populations have declined significantly due to extensive and uncontrolled hunting. Blue whale hunting was banned in 1966 by the International Whaling Commission. But, by 1970 330,000 blue whales had been caught & killed in the Antarctic, 33,000 in the rest of the Southern Hemisphere, 8,200 in the North Pacific, and 7,000 in the North Atlantic. The largest original population, in the Antarctic, had been reduced to 0.15% its original count.

Now that the hunting of these giant animals is banned, their numbers has started to increase and I don't think they will go extinct.

The scientific name for a humpback whale is Megaptera novaeangliae.

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.

Koros staff represents that he is the leader and that he has the power and loyalty. Koro always had his staff at the community house and at any other important time. When Koros staff drops in the water when he is calling for help, it signifies that he is not the leader, it is now Pais turn. Hope this helps

Usually they have one

Baleen whales have two blowholes. Toothed whales have only one.

Sweat glands do not keep us warm. They secrete moisture through our skin which evaporates into the air cooling our skin and blood but moisture that does not evaporate and remains as liquid on the skin is not efficient in cooling.

The same grey, mottled coloring as a drowned sailor is the color that generally is given for the narwhal. The color in fact may be varied by age since baby narwhals tend to have darker, black and white mottling. With age, mature narwhals take on whiter and whiter appearances.

No, lip balm is not made from whale sperm.

The horn of a narwhal is actually an overgrown tooth that grows out of a hole in it's upper lip. It used to be hunted and sold for 10 times it weight in gold! It is said to be used to sense changes in its environment such as a raise or drop in the supply of fish, or temperature.

Dolphins and whales are not classified as fish; they are marine mammals belonging to the order Cetacea. Unlike fish, which are cold-blooded and breathe through gills, dolphins and whales are warm-blooded, breathe air through lungs, and give live birth. They share common characteristics with mammals, such as having a layer of blubber for insulation and being social animals. Their aquatic lifestyle and similar habitats can sometimes lead to misconceptions about their classification.

Whales are mammals and must breath air. If they cannot reach the surface to breath they will drown.

hell no! Tuna are at the top of the marine food chain... things that eat krill are like smaller fish or whales... tuna eat other types of fish.

They are either washed ashore or their habits, such as coral reefs are destroyed in the tsunami. Whales have sonar hearing and sometimes know when to get out of the area when seismic waves are near.

i don't know but maybe they have a filter mouth

no

Actually, whales are mammals, so they have lungs. Yes, they DO breathe air, but not water. They just pretty much take a big breath of air, dive, then surface when they need to breathe.

ADDED: Is this even a serious question? I don't know a single person who doesn't know whales are mammals, not fish. Mammals are restricted to breathing atmospheric oxygen and cannot breathe water-bound oxygen.
