Wenn sie sich ausruhen, k\u00f6nnen sie \u00fcber 30 Minuten unter Wasser bleiben. Aktivere Arten wie Orcas atmen normalerweise alle 3 bis 5 Minuten.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1753098980360\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Atmen Wale durch ihr Maul?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Nein. Wale atmen durch ein Blasloch auf ihrem Kopf, nicht durch den Mund. Das Blasloch schlie\u00dft sich beim Tauchen und \u00f6ffnet sich nur an der Oberfl\u00e4che, damit sie effizient Luft ein- und ausatmen k\u00f6nnen.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1753099010566\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What happens to a whale&#8217;s brain during long dives?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Bei Tieftauchg\u00e4ngen verlangsamen die Wale ihren Herzschlag und reduzieren den Sauerstoffverbrauch, senden aber immer noch genug Sauerstoff an das Gehirn, um bei Bewusstsein zu bleiben. So k\u00f6nnen sie ihre Bewegungen kontrollieren und sicher an die Oberfl\u00e4che zur\u00fcckkehren.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1753099022616\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">K\u00f6nnen Wale ertrinken?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Ja, Wale k\u00f6nnen ertrinken, wenn sie nicht zum Atmen auftauchen k\u00f6nnen. Dies kann aufgrund von Verstrickungen, Verletzungen oder Desorientierung geschehen. Da sie S\u00e4ugetiere sind, ist das Atmen von Luft f\u00fcr ihr \u00dcberleben unerl\u00e4sslich.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1753099042031\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Wie lernen Walbabys, ihren Atem anzuhalten?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Walbabys, oder K\u00e4lber, atmen h\u00e4ufiger als Erwachsene. Sie lernen allm\u00e4hlich, l\u00e4nger zu tauchen, w\u00e4hrend sie heranwachsen. Dabei werden sie von ihren M\u00fcttern unterst\u00fctzt, die ihnen helfen, die Oberfl\u00e4che zu erreichen und kontrolliertes Atmen zu \u00fcben.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-references\">Referenzen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lyamin, O.
