She also mentions that they can dive 200 feet down and stay underwater for two minutes, can see well at the depth, and they eat yellow perch.

The ocean took my breath away with its wide variety of life and showed me the many dimensions of the underwater world which created a special interest in me for the marine and coastal environmental fields. After spending…

They exhale the waste carbon dioxide and then fill their lungs with fresh air before diving back down beneath the surface. Whales’ lungs have a very large surface area so they can exchange gases at a quick rate. This large surface area in their lungs comes from many small alveolar sacs. Since lungs act a little like balloons they prevent the whales from diving to a certain depth within the water. The lungs in a whale are small in comparison to its body mass. There is nitrogen…
