Whales typically exhale a mixture of air (warmed by the whale’s body), water vapor, and plenty of whale snot.

What’s a beluga whale doing swimming off San Diego? How come the beluga is all alone? This beluga, captured by a drone video, is the farthest south this species has ever been officially recorded.
Whale watchers recently caught a glimpse of something rather unusual – a beluga whale swimming in the waters off San Diego, California!
Although not confirmed, it is likely the whale may have come from the resident population in the Cook Inlet Alaska. San Diego is still not where you would expect to find this Arctic animal – over 3,000+ miles away. Looking at the condition of the whale’s body and skin it would seem to indicate that it is in good health and finding food, despite being so far out of its range in much warmer water.
Local whale watching charter captain with Gone Whale Watching, Domenic Biagini, filmed the beluga with his drone as it swam seven miles off Mission Bay.
Although it is rare to sight a solitary beluga whale, there have been several cases over the past 30 years, including the female beluga whale which appeared in waters around Long Island, New York in 1980. More recently, and again inexplicably, a beluga whale was sighted in the River Thames at Gravesend, Kent in the UK. The whale, which came to be known as ‘Benny’, was thought to be a sub-adult and remained in the area for several months before simply disappearing.
"Mothers and Daughters" - 🔵@maestro320 's Notes: There’s nothing quite as special as the unique and unbreakable relationship between a mother and her daughter. Mothers want what’s best for their children and daughters look up to their mothers for inspiration and advice. The relationship may shift and change as time goes on but one thing always remains the same: the unconditional love that they have for each other. - This incredible aerial footage was filmed on location off tge Coast of San Diego, California courtesy of FAA Licensed Drone Photographer, USCG Licensed Skipper and Owner of Gone Whale Watching San Diego @gonewhalewatching, Domenic Biagini @dolphindronedom Happy Earth Day everybody! I’m overwhelmed by how many new followers I’ve gained the past few days, and I’m so thankful to all of you! Blue Whales are definitely my current obsession right now, and I can’t wait to be allowed to take people out to see these gentle giants soon aboard @gonewhalewatching! Can you see the baby hiding underneath the mom!? • Using the number of earwax lamina deposited in the earplug and development of sexual organs from dead whales, it has been determined blue whales reach sexual maturity at about 10 years old and at an average length of 23.5 m for female Antarctic blue whales. Another method for determining age at sexual maturity, involves measurements of testosterone from the baleen of male blue whales. Testosterone concentrations measured from baleen suggest that the age at sexual maturity for one blue whale was 9 years. Male pygmy blue whales averaged 61.4 ft (18.7 m) at sexual maturity. Female pygmy blue whales are 68.9–71.2 ft (21.0–21.7 m) in length and roughly 10 years old at age of sexual maturity. Blue whales exhibit no well-defined social structure other than mother-calf bonds from birth until weaning. They are generally solitary or found in small groups. Little is known about mating behavior, or breeding and birthing areas. As a traveling pair, a male blue whale typically trails a female, and is generally successful at repelling an intruder male after a short and vigorous battle.

We have all been forced to isolate, given time to think about all we do! Will we continue with the ways of the past? I hope not! I hope we make a huge course change and head into a sustainable direction for all of our planet's inhabitants! I pray and hope we make peace with all earthlings, end one time use plastics, embrace new alternative energies and reverse global warming, stop cutting down rainforest, stop overfishing, stop relentlessly driving animals into extinction, switch to plant-based lifestyle, end western Civilization diseases and eastern civilization starvation, stop misuse and polluting water, end all needless slaughter and suffering! I hope we all realize that we are all connected and we must be kind to all!
