A Blue Whale takes the biggest breath on the planet, and you can see it. 🐋💨
When a blue whale surfaces, it blasts warm air from its lungs in a misty spray that can reach about 9m / 30 feet high. That cloud is mostly condensed breath mixed with a little seawater sitting around the blowhole.
Blue whales can hold their breath for up to 90 minutes during deep dives before surfacing for another explosive exhale. The ocean’s loudest sigh belongs to the largest animal ever to live.
We are so lucky to be able to exist along side these ocean giants in Baja and get to see them during our Megafauna Expeditions.
