A Whale Swimming Sideways
The main subject is a massive whale depicted in a side view as it swims through the water. Its streamlined body stretches horizontally, showing the shape of its head, back, and tail. The space behind and around the animal is entirely plain.
Remarkable Facts About Swimming Whales
Whales propel themselves forward by moving their broad tail flukes up and down, unlike fish which swim by moving their tails from side to side. Despite living constantly underwater, whales must periodically surface to exhale stale air and breathe fresh oxygen through their blowholes. Their thick layer of blubber helps them retain body heat even in freezing ocean currents.
