What is the main idea of this passage? Ugh! My camera is all slimy. I was trying to photograph a humpback whale as he blew from his blow hole. It was too close! When a humpback whale breathes, it blows air and water vapor out its blow hole on the top of its head. The whale's breath, forced out the hole at 450 kph, is composed of air and water vapor; it can reach 5 meters high and seen from 2 kilometers away on a clear day. It contains a fishy smell and oily substance, which can leave a residue on a camera lens, if too close. Whale's breathing or 'the blow' is usually the first sign that a whale is present.
What is "How whales breathe"
