Hump back whale had travelled 9,800 kilometers | Hump back whales eat 2500 kilos of meat everyday

Hump back whaleChampions are the people who win the sports competition and in this category, a whale had become champion in world competitions recently. Whale did not participate in the competition but it just swam across the water. Scientists were shocked to measure the distance which whale swam. This whale is the one which travelled more distance among mammals in the world. It had travelled 6,000 miles distance which is equal to 9,800 kilometers. Many animals on the earth will travel from one place to another place in winter season to protect themselves. Hump back whale is one the animal which travels from one place to another in winter season.  One of whale had started its journey from South America and reached the destination which is Madagascar in African continent.

The distance between these two places is 9,800 kilometers. Scientists had named the whale with a number and attached a sensor to it. So whale can be pointed out with the help of computers and so it can be identified among many whales. The distance travelled by this whale is twice the distance travelled by whales normally. Female whales won’t travel long distances, they just give birth to the babies and travel to shorter distances only. Male whales will travel long distance but this record was done by female whale. The route travelled by this whale is also the toughest route to travel. Travelling nature of whales is very different. Whales which grow 50 feet will travel for 45 days continuously without stopping. In the middle of the journey, they shout and enjoy by dancing on water. They eat more and they eat 2500 kilos of meat every day. These whales are born with 700 kilos of weight and they grow up to few tones of weight.
