Whales don't breath underwater.They hold their breath underwater instead.Whales are mammals like us.They have lungs like us so they need to breath air above the water like we do.
A whale can hold it's breath for up to half an hour underwater and thats only because it's lungs are huge.Our lungs only partly fill with air.A whale uses it's blowhole to breathe in air and when you see water spurting from a whale blowhole thats just the water vapour from the whale's lungs and any water around the blowhole.they need oxygen like us.If we didn't get oxygen we will die.
A whale doesn't hold its breath. It rather gets oxygen from water it then shoots out of its spout.
Aproximently a whale can hols its breath for 55 hours
1 billion hours lol
there hold their breath for 97.00 min.For at least 30 mi but suprisingly enough they acually have to breath air to live but can 'hold their breath' for 30 straight minutesThe Humoback whale can stay under water for 15 to 20 minutes max Because they are mammals to and can't hold their breath for very long.
Because their lungs are so large.
sperm whales have been known to hold their breath for more than an hour.
whale breath through lungs
This award is often given to the sperm whale, which is known to hold its breath for hours while it hunts at the bottom of the sea.
1 hour About 20-30 minutes.
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.
About 15-20 minutes underwater and it has to go back up to get airThe Killer Whale is the fastest mammal in the seas. It can swim up to thirty five miles per hour. While swimming rapidly it can often make leaps forty feet long , rising four feet above the water. The Killer Whale is capable of diving to depths of over 1000 feet and it is able to remain beneath the surface for as much as twenty minutes.Killer whales can hold their breath upto 15 minutes by slowing down their beats from 60 beats to 30 beats per minute while diving.
A whale CAN drown- they cannot stay underwater indefinitely. When underwater, they hold their breath. They are REALLY good at holding their breath, and their bodies have adapted to doing that.
The lungs of a whale are definitely incredible. The sperm whale can stay underwater for up to a full 2 hours. Imagine being able to hold your breath for 2 hours.
