🐋 Whale Dive Physiology Lab: Oxygen Budget, Aerobic Dive Limit and Lung Collapse

Breath-hold diving physiology of blue, humpback, sperm and beaked whales: oxygen stores, Kleiber metabolism, aerobic dive limit, bradycardia, Boyle lung collapse, lunge-feeding energetics and Kramer's optimal dive model.

⚙ Under the hood

Dive a blue, humpback, sperm or beaked whale and watch its oxygen stores drain against Kleiber metabolism, bradycardia and Boyle lung collapse, then test the aerobic dive limit scaling and Kramer's optimal bottom time.
