Answers:
Because whales (and seals and sea lions) do not do any weight bearing exercises such as walking, running or weight training!. They are also genetically built with a very thick fat layer to keep them warm in arctic temperatures!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
because the water they live in is VERY cold!.!. they have alot of "Blubber" to insulate them from the cold!.!.
swimming IS good exercise, but even people, if you spend too much time in COLD water, your body will develop a layer of fat to insulate you!.!. (that's what I was told from a one-time avid swimmer)
so leave the swimming for heated pools, and the summertime, if you're doing it to get fit and trim!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
