This stop we will take a peak into the mating rituals of these creatures.
Blue whales reach sexual maturity around ages 6-10. At this time the male whale is around 74 feet and the female is around 79 feet. Using their songs the males attract their female mates. "Blue whale breeding occurs mostly in the winter to early spring while near the surface and in warm waters." These females give birth every 2 to 3 years and have a gestation period of about one year.
