[11] Blue whales capture krill through lunge feeding, they swim towards them at high speeds as they open their mouths up to 80° [11] [63] They may engulf 220 metric tons (220 long tons; 240 short tons) of water at one time. [67] They squeeze the water out through their baleen plates with pressure from the throat pouch and tongue, and swallow the remaining krill. [11] [63] Blue whales have been recorded making 180° rolls during lunge-feeding, possibly allowing them to search the prey field and find the densest patches. [68]Cooke JG (2018a).

This milk contains high amounts of fat which is meant to hasten the development of blubber; it contains so much fat that it has the consistency of toothpaste. [68] As with humans, females whales typically deliver a single calf. The whale pregnancy/ gestation period lasts longer than the typical 9 month gestation period for humans. The whale gestation period is about 12 months. Once born, the absolute dependency of the calf upon the mother lasts from one to two years. Sexual maturity is achieved at around seven to ten years of age. The length of the developmental phases of a whale's early life varies between different whale species. [12] However it was revealed that the Land Whale wasn't the Air fragment, leading Kaos on a wild goose chase. The creature isn't seen again, but Kaos mentioned that the Land Whale ate half of his Drow army.The main difference between each family of mysticete is in their feeding adaptations and subsequent behaviour. Antarctic subspecies ( B. m. intermedia) – This subspecies includes all populations found around the Antarctic. They have been recorded to travel as far north as eastern tropical Pacific, the central Indian Ocean, and the waters of southwestern Australia and northern New Zealand. [24] North Atlantic population – This population is mainly documented from New England along eastern Canada to Greenland, particularly in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, during summer though some individuals may remain there all year. They also aggregate near Iceland and have increased their presence in the Norwegian Sea. They are reported to migrate south to the West Indies, the Azores and northwest Africa. [24] Every year, more people are reading our articles to learn about the challenges facing the natural world. Our future depends on nature, but we are not doing enough to protect our life support system. Pollution has caused toxic air in our cities, and farming and logging have wreaked havoc on our forests. Climate change is creating deserts and dead zones, and hunting is driving many species to the brink of extinction. This is the first time in Earth's history that a single species - humanity - has brought such disaster upon the natural world. But if we don't look after nature, nature can't look after us. We must act on scientific evidence, we must act together, and we must act now.
