We are learning about the ocean in our class and would like to ask you some questions. We hope you will answer us. They are actually not squirting water from their spouts. Instead they are exhaling air from their blowholes. Whales are marine mammals and breath air.
Blowholes are like nostrils.
Most whales swim between 4-6 knots withbursts of speeds to catch food or mates that may be twice that.
