Question

Why do whales die when taken out from water?

Answer 1

Marine Mammals such as whales and dolphines will die if taken out of water. Agreed they breathe air but there are other factors too.Their bodies have grown huge as a result of water and most of their skeletons cannot take their body weight as the water ,rather the sea supports their body weight. As a result their internal organs collapse on themselves.
Body heat regulation. Though they are warm blooded animals a majority of their thermal regulation is as a result of contact with water. They tend to overheat.
