whales
- Blue and fin whales can create the loudest sound by animals ever recorded; sounds that have more energy than jet plane noise
- It has been calculated that a single breath from a mature blue whale can inflate up to 2000 balloons
- Humpback whales are the only ones that use bubbles to help capture their prey. The bubbles trap fish in a spot for feeding whales
- Fin whales are the second largest animal ever to live on earth. They have been measured to over 80 feet long in Antarctic waters
- The blue whale has a heart the size of a small car and its blood vessal is so broad, that a person could swim through it
- The beluga whale ‘hears’ sound with its lower fat-filled jaw bone, which conducts sound into the middle ear
