The fluctuating temperatures in the core depend on pressure, the rotation of the Earth, and the varying composition of core elements. In general, temperatures range from about 4,400Â° Celsius (7,952Â° Fahrenheit) to about 6,000Â° Celsius (10,800Â° Fahrenheit).
Baleen whale (suborder Mysticeti), also called toothless whale, any cetacean possessing unique epidermal modifications of the mouth called baleen, which is used to filter food from water. Baleen whales seek out concentrations of small planktonic animals. The whales then open their mouth and take in enormous quantities of water. When the mouth is closed, they squeeze the water out through the sides, catching the tiny prey on the baleenâs bristles. (See also cetacean: Feeding adaptations).
The Blue Whale is the largest known mammal that has ever lived, and the largest living animal, at up to 110 feet long and 150 tons. Most whales are quite active in the water. They jump high, or breach, out of the water and land back in the water.hales are divided into two suborders: baleen and toothed whales. Like all mammals, whales breathe air into lungs, are warm-blooded, feed their young milk and have some (although very little) hair. Their bodies resemble the streamlined form of a fish, while the forelimbs or flippers are paddle-shaped.
