Do whales get seasick?

If they are at Sea World I bet they do. I'd probably want to be back in the sea if I was a whale and had to live there.

There is no proven theory on whales getting seasick. Like other mammals, whales do regurgitate food from time to time. Despite their size, whales are designed to counter the ocean's elements. This includes waves, motion sickness and other forms of nautical travel.

I don't know for sure, but my educated guess would be no, whales do not get sea sick. They live in the ocean and the constant motion is all they know.

Only when they take boats.
