Characteristics of the Different Whale Types

This project is about analyzing whales and how there specific features like length may make them more endangered compared to other whales species

Gray whale

Gray whales can reach length up to 46 ft or 14 meters Males whales are slightly smaller than females. The largest gray whales weigh about 99,000 pounds (45,000 kg) normally adults weigh 27,000 kg or about 59,000 gray whales aren't the same due to barnacles on the back that are exclusive to that specific whale meaning no other whale has the same barnacles. A baby gray whale gains 60 to 70 pounds daily

Bowhead whale

Bowheads (Balaena mysticetus) are popular for their enormous bow-molded heads, planned impeccably for one of their fundamental difficulties: overcoming thick ocean ice to relax. Bowheads can utilize their extensive fortified skulls and ground-breaking bodies to get through ice 20 cm thick. Inuit seekers in Alaska have revealed whales surfacing through 60 cm of ice. Their heads make up about 33% of the complete length (which in grown-ups can be up to 20 meters – infant calves are around 4 meters in length and gauge 2-3 tons).

They are additionally known in calm Arctic waters for their serious episodes of social gathering connections, including tail and flipper slapping, and rupturing (jumping altogether out of the water) – a noteworthy accomplishment for whales that weigh as much as 100 tons. While relocating they swim, of course, rather gradually, at 3-5 kilometers for every hour.

Blue whale

Blue whales are the biggest creatures at any point known to have lived on Earth. These wonderful marine well evolved creatures rule the seas at up to 100 feet long and upwards of 200 tons. Their tongues alone can weigh as much as an elephant. Their hearts, as much as a vehicle. Blue whales achieve these astounding measurements on an eating regimen made about solely out of modest shrimplike creatures called krill. Amid specific occasions of the year, a solitary grown-up blue whale expends around 4 tons of krill daily.

Blue whales look good 'ol fashioned submerged, however superficially their shading is more a mottled blue-dim. Their underbellies take on a yellowish tint from the a huge number of microorganisms that move to their skin. The blue whale has an expansive, level head and a since quite a while ago, decreased body that closes in wide, triangular accidents. Calves enter the world officially positioning among the planet's biggest animals. After about a year inside its mom's belly, an infant blue whale develops weighing as much as 3 tons and extending to 25 feet. It pigs out on only mother's milk and increases around 200 pounds each day for its first year.
