5 WHALES BOOK OVERVIEW WHALES POCKET 3 How Whales Breathe Whales breathe oxygen through blowholes located on the tops of their heads. This enables whales to inhale and exhale without lifting their huge heads out of the water. They can also continue moving forward as they surface to breathe. A whale can close its blowhole(s) when it dives. The toothed whale has one blowhole. Baleen whales have two blowholes, sometimes referred to as twin blowholes. When whales come to the water surface to breathe, they make a spout of vapor called a blow. The blow is made up of droplets of water, oil, mucus, and used air. It smells like rotten fish. The blows of different whales look different. After they blow, whales breathe in fresh air and dive again. They can hold their breath underwater for 10 minutes or more. Some whales, such as sperm whales, can hold their breath for more than an hour. Some whales can be identified by the angle, shape, and height of their blows. Blue Whale The blue whale s blow is narrow and high. Right Whale Right whales make two low blows with their twin blowholes. Humpback Whale A humpback whale has a low blow. Sperm Whale The sperm whale makes a blow that is angled forward and to the left Evan-Moor Corp. 20 Making Books with Pockets EMC 1221 POCKET 3 As Big as a Whale pages This little book helps students to compare four different whales to real things in their environment.
