Some of you may have
noticed that there was no post yesterday this is because I had
trouble with my internet dropping out.
Anyway here is this weeks creature the Cuvier's Beaked Whale which is smaller then last week's Sperm Whale at only 7 m or 23ft in length, it however holds the record for underwater endurance being able to stay underwater longer then any other air breathing animal.
Scientists studying
these whales in 2014 recorded them reaching a depth of 2992m or
9816ft which is almost 10 Eiffel towers on the top of each other, for
up to 2hrsd 18minutes, remember whales need to breathe air so that
is a bloody long time to hold one's breath.
Also at such depths
thee water pressures is enough to crumble a monster truck.
Now they stay
underwater so long in order to feed on their deep water favourites
such as glass squids and octopus.
They live for anywhere
between 25 to 50 years they reach sexual maturity around 12 to 17
years of age.
They're like humans as they mature. Man, that is one heck of a long time under water. Their lungs must be HUGE!
ReplyDelete2hrs 18minutes - they can hold their breathe that long - that is incredible!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting Jo-Anne, great to read.
ReplyDeleteInteresting facts about this whale.
ReplyDeleteThey're amazing! It's too bad humans tend to put themselves at the top of the food chain, there are so many amazing species on this planet!

Take a gander at the cost of the property genuinely as it is autonomously and furthermore make sense of how much in lease you can make from the business. You should have the two numbers working for your specific circumstance.
