Do dead whales float???

Question

I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Yes, dead whales do float.  So do live ones.

Answer 2

Many whales do float when they are killed. That is one reason why Right Whales were called Right Whales, they float when dead. Think about it. If you harpooned a whale and it sank how could it be cut up for the blubber?

Answer 3

Whales do not float when they are dead because they are very heavy. They have thick layers of blubbers and hard skin.

Answer 4

Some do & some don't. If it falls in a shallow area, it's gone in a matter of months. In the deep ocean, the whale fall can last over a year. The whale-fall & the things that live on it in the deep ocean constitute an entire ecosystem.
