Blowhole (biology)
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from Blowhole (bio))
In biology, a blowhole is the hole at the top of a whale's head through which the animal breathes air. It is homologous with the nose of other mammals. As whales reach the water surface to breathe, they will forcefully expel air through the blowhole, and this is often visible from far away as a white splash.
