Some whale fun facts...
The blue whale is the largest mammal on earth. It weighs 50 tons at birth and can grow to 150 tons.
Some people believe that whales have the power to create earthquakes.
The tongue of a blue whale is about the same size as an elephant.
Narwhal whales have a horn, which is actually a tooth. Sailors once believed that narwhals were related to unicorns.
Orcas (killer whales) kill sharks by torpedoing up into the shark's stomach from underneath, causing the shark to explode.
At nearly 50 percent fat, whale milk has around 10 times the fat content of human milk, which helps calves achieve some serious growth spurts - as much as 200 pounds per day!
Killer whales are symbols of longevity and romance since they are believed to mate for life.
