The breath very much the same to humans in that it must be air as they have no gills to filer the oxygen from the water, this is one of the main reasons whales come to the surface but they have huge lungs that enable them to hold their breath for very long durations but it depends on the type of whale (sperm whales con hold their breath for up to 120 minutes) and when they run out of air they must come back to the surface to breath again, Whales do not have a nose either, they use the hole on the top of their head to breath (Blow hole), this hole has muscles all they way around it that keep it sealed when it is under water and open in to breath on the surface and could be compared to a sphincter in the way it works, when a whale breaths out through this hole they send a jet of water mist up in the air that can sometimes be seen from over 3 miles away.
It isn't "breaching", it is "beaching", and it is exactly what it sounds like: A whale propels itself up onto the beach, and then cannot move. Heroic efforts are made to get it back into the water, which sometimes succeed and sometimes do not. The "why" behind it is not understood, to the frustration of marine biologists.
For another possibility, please see the related question below, "When a whale is breaching what is it doing?"
The exact reason isn't known and still baffles scientist. This isn't just for Humpback Whales or whales but other marine life that breaches. Some say that breaching is a form of communtiion. Whereas another guess is that they are trying to get rid of parasites or other organisms that grow on the outside of their skin (eg barnacles)
The Japanese eat it.
Fish eat the killer whale's skin, or the body dissolves in the water.
When a whale farts it creates man made bubbles (A.K.A tidal wave)
The blue whale. Technically the whale shark isn't acually a whale, but in fact the worlds largest fish (shark). The blue whale, also happens to be the largest animal (mammal) on the planet.The blue whale is nearly twice the size of the whale shark, to 90 feet or more.
The density increases..
The Save the Whales people will come and get you. No seriously... You'd get in trouble.
They die cos they're out of water
That is what happens when a whale breathes. They hold their breath when going under water, and when they surface they exhale to blow in seawater that has filled their blowhole while submerged.
i think its the southern right whale
A gray whale female has babies close to california
It nearly capsizes from the whale's rolling motion
Its density increases.
