Whale Clipart

Whales are long-livers. Some of them, for example, Greenland whale, live up to 200 years. During their lives, they develop, grow and at a more mature age, they use less intensity than in youth. A study of whales can help the medicine solve the problem of aging since even the oldest individuals do not show signs of aging. Whales, like some other animals (such as for example, excavators) do not shake. Scientists still cannot give an unambiguous answer, from what they die. The age of the whales can be determined from the protein content in the lens of the eye, which is formed in these mammals at birth. The opacity of the lens is by far the only indicator of their aging. A scientist, who has been dealing with aging for many years, believes that, perhaps, the whales are blinded, and then they simply break up.

Whales have a weak vision, and there is no sense of smell, so whales around the world perceive, mainly, by ear. It is very good. Interestingly, whales do not have external ears, they perceive sounds with the lower jaw, from which the resonance extends to the inner and middle ear. Between themselves, whales communicate at a distance with the help of sounds. It is established that whales are capable of producing the loudest sounds from all living creatures on Earth, other individuals can hear whale "conversations" at a distance of more than 15,000 kilometers. It's amazing, but whales love music. Last year, two American artists descended into the ocean on an underwater vehicle with classical music included. Whales showed great interest in this concert. And more: in captivity, whales can learn to imitate human speech.
