Note: These Challenge Questions coincide with the Spring 2006 Reports Challenge Question #1 From: by way of Journey North <lthurber@mac.com> Date: Wed Feb 15 2006 - 14:39:26 EST The best conditions for a baby whale should be for the baby to be born in or near the lagoons. One reason would be because there are not killer whales in the lagoon. The water in the lagoon is more calm than in the middle of the ocean. This means that the baby won't have as much chance of drowning. The water in the lagoon is higher in salt and that salt allows the baby to float easier. Since the baby does not have a lot of blubber when it is born, it needs to be in warmer waters. TJ S., Emily M., and Brittany H.
