LEGO® 6435010 - 49518pb02 - Whale
Look, a LEGO whale! In addition to dolphins and turtles, you can now enrich your LEGO marine life with a whale.
Did you know that there are two types of whales? Tooth whales (Odontoceti) and baleen whales (Mysticeti). Tooth whales are predators with large teeth, like dolphins, porpoises and sperm whales. Baleen whales, such as blue whales and northern right whales, instead of having teeth, have a horn-like sieve structure that they use to filter their food (plankton) out of the water.
Another factoid. Each adult whale absorbs an average of 33 tons of CO2. A tree only absorbs a maximum of 22 kilograms of CO2 annually. A study by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) shows that if whales were the size they were before industrial whaling in the 16th century, they would capture 1.7 billion tons of CO2 annually. Then there were 4 to 5 million whales; now there are only 1.3 million.
