For mating, blue whales have a 'dating period' around July or August. A male and a female will pair up and spend time together to gauge each other. During this period, another male may approach the pair to express interest in the female. When this happens, the female initiates a race between the two males. This will often lead to the two males exchanging blows using their tails and heads as they race. Whoever the female judges to be the most physically fit during the race becomes the new mate. | For mating, blue whales have a 'dating period' around July or August.

Despite being the largest animals to ever exist, scientists have yet to pinpoint the details on where and how blue whales mate. All that's known is that it occurs during late autumn to early winter, and that it occurs somewhere within the warm waters near the Equator. Migration to the breeding grounds can last up to 4 months, during which the blue whale will not eat. It gets the energy to survive from its own blubber and stored calories. | |||
