Did you know that a whale has to get above the water to blow water from its blow hole then it gets under water. They burst into speed when in danger.

  3. How much does a baby whale drink its moms milk? The baby whale drinks @ about 132 gallons a minute gains also about 500 lb it gains fat too. When the baby is hungry it hits its moms fin this is a physical adaptation.

The baby is like say as long as a small truck or a station wagon.

  6. How much does a mom whale stay at the arctic/why does she come home? Knowing the mom stays there for 6 months – 8 months and comes home because she's hungry. Then she feeds her baby and migrates to the pacific waters with her family = near the Canada coastlines.
