WHY WHALES SPLASH OUT WATER Whales are mammals who breathe air into their lungs. Blowholes are a whale nostrils and are located on the top or back of the whale head. Blowholes are covered by muscular flaps that keep water from entering them when the whale is under water.In the relaxed state, the flap covers the blowhole. A blowhole leads to the whale trachea and then to its lungs. Unlike us, whales cannot breathe through their mouth; they only breathe through their blowholes.Baleen whaleshave two blowholes, located side by side. Toothed whaleshave one blowhole.At the surface of the water, whales open their blowhole and exhale air explosively through their blowhole. This exhaled air from the blowhole is called the blow and usually forms a gusher or a bushy stream of misty air and vapor.This is immediately followed by inhalation of fresh air, and the blowhole close again.This breathing pattern takes only a fraction of a second for small cetaceans , but it may take a few seconds for larger whales.Just before a whale dives underwater, strong muscles surrounding the blowhole relax and the protective flap covers the blowhole.It might looks messed due to white background edit forrequirementNote: Due to the difference between different monitors, the picture may not reflect the actual color of the item.
