6 Mar According to this viral message, your typical blue whale produces more than gallons of sperm when it ejaculates, a factoid offered up to explain why the By way of comparison, the capacity of an average hot tub is roughly that same amount, gallons, meaning this poor creature would have to. Not only is the large amount of sperm that the blue whale produces useful for maximizing the likelihood of producing a successful offspring, in some whale species it's also good for trying to wash out the sperm of competing males while also increasing the chances of being the one that impregnates the female whale.
Description:The ribs are bound to the spine by flexible cartilage, which allows the ribcage to collapse rather than snap under high pressure. Bones show the same pitting that signals decompression sickness in humans. Older skeletons showed the most extensive pitting, whereas calves showed no damage. This damage may indicate that sperm whales are susceptible to decompression sickness, and sudden surfacing could be lethal to them. These evolutionary modifications make the spine more flexible but weaker than the spines of terrestrial vertebrates. Sound waves that strike the whale from different directions will not be channeled in the same way.
