Fun facts about the Whale
Blue whales are the largest animals ever known to have existed on Earth, reaching up to 30 metres in length. Humpback whales compose complex, evolving songs that can last up to 20 minutes and are heard across entire ocean basins. Whales breathe air like humans and must surface regularly — a blue whale's breath can shoot water 9 metres into the air. The bowhead whale is the longest-living mammal, with individuals known to survive over 200 years.
