A reminder to stay hydrated! 💧 @slatermoorephotography shows a massive Blue Whale spotted in Monterey, California. An adult blue whale can take up to about 10,000 gallons of water in its mouth while eating—however, the baleen in the whale's mouth filters the food and the whale pushes most of the water out. 🐋 How fascinating is this Blue Whale sighting? Have you ever seen one out in the ocean before? 💙 📽 @slatermoorephotography 📍 Monterey, California, US | Beautiful Destinations

Blue whale vocalizations are very low frequency sounds with some in the 15 Hz range. These tones characteristically travel long distances due to the high power, but also due to very long-wavelengths (over 300 feet for 15 Hz). This enables their songs to be heard thousands of miles from the source. We can assume that the projection distance is important (Nature can be extravagant, but she is never wasteful), but we can only speculate why they need to broadcast their songs across ocean basins.
