Question

Is it possible for zoos or aquariums to keep blue whales in captivity?

Answer 1

no, but the GA aquarium has whale sharks.

Answer 2

not even close to being possible.

Blue whales grow to be about 80 feet (25 m) long on average, weighing about 120 tons (109 tonnes). The largest specimen found was a female 94 feet (29 m) long weighing more 174 tons (158 tonnes). The females are larger than males, as with all baleen whales. The largest of the blue whales (150 tons) has a heart that weighs about 1,000 pounds (450 kg) and has 14,000 pounds (6,400 kg) of blood circulating in its body. The heart is about the size of a Volkswagon bug car. A human could crawl through the aorta (a major blood vessel).

you would need, literally, a whole ocean to house one of those!

Answer 3

are you a fool? no! they could not!

Answer 4

They are way too large. Not to mention in order to keep the animal fed and healthy it would take an enormous tank and a lot of food. It would be a near impossible task and the animal would likely die because captivity would not meet the needs.

Answer 5

In what? Your bathtub...?
