Do you know,
That the fore fins, or paddles
of the Whale have all the bones, i
joints and most of the muscles,
nerves and arteries of the human
arm and hand? That the rudi- i
ments of the hind legs are bur
ied deep into the interior of the
whale’s body ? Externally he
looks like a fish but is a warm ;
blooded animal adjusted in form
to suit his watery environment.
Tho he has the streamlines of j
the fish, his flukes, or tail, differs
from theirs as the fish tail is
placed vertically with his body;
while the whale’s is horizontal.
This enables him to rise to the
surface more easily which is nec
essary for him to ‘get his breath.’
The “spout of water" which we
so often see when observing the
whale, is not water at all; merely
his warm breath entering the
colder atmosphere and condens
ing; appearing as our on a cold
day; only his breath has more
force behind it than ours hence,;
the “high spout of water.’
Whales have no teeth; that is,
the ones found in local waters,
but have filters through which
the water is emptied from the i
mouth after taking a mouthful of
herring or other food. These
filters are called baleen. They
are flexible bone set in rows a- (
long the upper jaw, very thin &
varying in length. The longer
ones are in the center of the
mouth and the others gradually
becoming smaller and shorter at
the jaw joints.
These baleen form a curtain
when the mouth is closing. The
loose ends of the baleen are fry
ed, brush-like, making a filter for!
the escaping water kyjt forming
a brush-like net to prevent the
escaping of food. When the mou
,th is closed these frayed ends!
bend in and under, laying along
a groove, in the lower jaw below
the tongue. There are 380 ba
leen on each side of the upper j
palate.
The lower lip is exceeding stiff
and long, or high. This aids the (
baleen in forming a pond for the
captured fish. The frayed ends
are thrust down below this stiff
lip, preventing the flexible baleen
brush from sweeping out with
the rushing water when the
whale closes his mouth and press
es his tongue against the roof of
his mouth in order to empty the
water and swallow the food.
The local whale is the “hump
back.” They are usually forty to
forty-five feet long. The front
flippers are from ten to twelve |
feet in length; the head is about
one third of his entire length the
longest baleen is from ten to
twelve inches long and three &
a half inches wide.
The oil of the whale is used
principally for the base of soaps.
The baleen used to be used ex
tensively for “whale boning in
corsets, but flexible steel has tak
en its place, so now is used most
ly for brushes and millinery pur
poses. The goose quill trimm
ings are made of the silky brush
ends of the baleen.
The whale, like most sea mam
mals, give birth on land. That
is, the whale comes to shallow I
waters to give birth to their j
young. The young cannot swim
but must be taught; during the
infancy period, the babes are car- J
ried under the front flippers of
their mothers. One offspring is
the usual number but occasional
ly there are twins.
