Marine Water
Why do whales and dolphins and other related marine mammals die when out of water?
If I were to remove a whale, dolphin, etc. (no fish, only marine mammals) from the water they would obviously die, even if they were fed well.
Why is that??? Is it simply because their skin dries out and the absence of water?
I mean they don’t need water to breathe like fish, they have blowholes. So is it their skin???
The main reason is that there is no support for their bodies – in other words, whales and dolphins spend their whole lives supported by the pressure and bouyancy of the water. It’s sort of like when you get out of a swimming pool after an hour or so – you feel like you weigh a ton until you again get used to the atmospheric pressure.
So basically these marine animals suffocate and collapse under their own weight. The skin is also an issue – but secondary to the lack of water support.
