Immense strength is built into the great body of the big whales, and in fact most of a whale’s body is one gigantic muscle. The blue whale’s pulling【52】 has been estimated at 400 horsepower. One specimen was reported to have【53】 a whaling vessel for seven hours at the【54】 of eight knots.

And【63】 is believed that a special kind of oil in his head is some sort of compensating mechanism that automatically adjusts the internal pressure of his body. But【64】 you can’t bring a live whale into the laboratory for study, no one【65】 just how these things work.
