Bowhead whales are believed to live for more than 200 years, according to scientists. On the other hand, killer whales can live for more than 100 years. - They Can Travel Long-distances
Gray whales can travel about 10,000 miles roundtrip, which makes them one of the only mammals to make such long annual migrations. - Sperm Whales Almost Went Extinct
Commercial whalers sought after the Sperm whales for their blubber and the unique oil that is derived from the “spermaceti organ” that is on their heads. This organ is a key part of the echolocation system. - Killer Whales Are Very Social
Most killer whales tend to travel in groups or family units that are centered on the mother whale.
