Best Answer

Baird's Beaked Whale (Berardius bairdii). The male can be up to 12 metres long. These whales belong to the order of animals known as cetaceans, sub-order odontoceti (toothed whales). Dolphins, Beluga whales and Orca are other examples of this group. In this group, the nostrils have become a large single blowhole on the top of the head. Unlike in humans, this means that the airway is separate from the food passages.

Why do you have two nostrils and one windpipe?

Because the nostrils are used for gathering smells. and the separation of timing of arrival of the smell between the nostrils allows animals to determine the direction from which the smell is coming. With just one nostril one would not be able to do this. The single windpipe enables each nostril to gather air at the same rate thereby allowing the timing differential to be determined.
