ASLAM ASKED - "MA'AM,WHY DOES A WHALE SPOUT:" MA'AM REPLIED -"A WHALE DOES NOT HAVE GILLS TO BREATHE.WHALES BREATHE THROUGH THEIR LUNGS.THEIR NOSTRILS ARE ON THEIR HEADS.WHEN A WHALE GOES UNDER WATER,THEIR NOSTRILS GET CLOSED BY LITTLE VALVES AND THE AIR PASSAGES ARE SHUT OFF FROM THE MOUTH SO THAT WATER DOES NOT GO INTO THE LUNGS.

WHALES USUALLY RISE TO BREATHE OVER FIVE OR TEN MINUTES.BUT SOME TIMES THEY REMAIN UNDERWATER FOR THREE-QUARTERS OF AN HOUR!

YOU WILL BE SURPRISED TO KNOW THAT SOME WHALES HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO DIVE 600 METRES DEEP !"

A whale inhales air before going underwater it then hold its breath (Closing its blowhole). On returning to the surface it exhales the air blowing any moisture plus any sea water that should go down the blowhole when it opens, forming a spout.

I assume it is because when they eat krill, they take in water as well, so they need to get rid of this water.

A whale is just exhaling when it spouts; it exhales air, but since it lives in the water, a certain amount of water gets thrown into the air by this process as well.
