Did you know a blue whale’s babies are over 5,000 pounds and 25 feet long. These whales even as babies they are still among the largest animals in the sea. The gestation process takes 1 year while a human gestation process only lasts 9 months! I can tell you how many pounds of whale milk is drank by calf is… 200 lbs. That is a lot right? Gues how many pounds a baby whale gains in half a year,the magical number is 200 lbs yup 200 again. Due to lack of blubber babies must be born in warm water. I Wonder why a baby whale does not have blubber don’t you? In the first few mins of a baby's life it takes a breath as well as a blue whale is considered mature at 10 years that is right you heard me 10 years old. When the whales reach the summer feeding grounds the calf is old enough to hunt alone! Well these baby whales are not as small as I thought, they’re like giants!
