Contrary to what some may believe, whales are not fish and do not lay eggs. Female whales carry their unborn fetus in the womb and when it is time to deliver, they will give birth to a live, oxygen breathing, baby whale.

How does whale get pregnant?

Blue whales reproduce via sexual meiosis. The male and female each produce haploid gametes. Male gametes are sperm, and the female gametes are eggs. ... They fertilize internally, meaning sperm is deposited inside the female.

Do snakes lay eggs or give birth?

Answer: No! While snakes are known for laying eggs, not all of them do so! Some do not externally lay eggs, but instead produce young by eggs that are hatched internally (or inside) the body of the parent. Animals that are able to give this version of live birth are known as ovoviviparous.

Baleen whales give birth to a single calf. In most species, a female may bear a calf every two to four years. If twins are conceived, they are unlikely to survive to full term.

How are baby whales born?

How do whales give birth? Because whales are mammals, their calves grow inside their mothers and are born through live births. During the whale birth process, calves will emerge fins first. ... Once a female whale gives birth, they typically nudge their calf up to the ocean surface so they can take their first breath.

Do whales sleep?

Observations of bottlenose dolphins in aquariums and zoos, and of whales and dolphins in the wild, show two basic methods of sleeping: they either rest quietly in the water, vertically or horizontally, or sleep while swimming slowly next to another animal.

Does whale give milk?

The need for milk is an essential part of the development of any young mammal, and being aquatic makes breastfeeding considerably harder. Nursing their young with milk is one of the things that defines mammals, so whales definitely do have mammary glands and they do produce milk.

Can whales breathe water?

Whales and dolphins are mammals and breathe air into their lungs, just like we do. They cannot breathe underwater like fish can as they do not have gills. ... After each breath, the blowhole is sealed tightly by strong muscles that surround it, so that water cannot get into the whale or dolphin's lungs.

Do sharks lay eggs or live birth?

Do sharks lay eggs or give live birth? Sharks exhibit a great diversity in reproductive modes. There are oviparous (egg-laying) species and viviparous (live-bearing) species. Oviparous species lay eggs that develop and hatch outside the mother's body with no parental care after the eggs are laid.

Do male whales have balls?

North Atlantic right whales have the largest testicles in the animal kingdom. They can exceed 900 kg, which corresponds to about 2% of the animal's total weight. Harbour porpoises have nothing to be ashamed of either: during the mating season, the testicles of males swell to represent 5% of their body weight.

Do whales have periods?

On average, females may have four estrous cycles during one polyestrus period. This period is highly variable, as is the period of noncycling, both for one whale over time, and between whales.

Can whales have twins?

According to Norris (1966), sei whales, the third largest whale species on earth, have the highest rate of multiple births out of all cetaceans, at 1.09%. The majority of cetacean multiple births result in fraternal, or dizygotic, twins – meaning the fetuses developed from two separate eggs.
