Reply to TIL that blue whale calves can drink 60 gal / 225 liters of milk a day and can gain up to 8 lbs / 3.7 kg an HOUR. by persondude27
Milk weighs about 8 ½lbs per gallon. If the're drinking 60 gallons a day...
That's around +/- 500 lbs. -> about 2.5 gallons per hour.
How do they calculate the 8lbs. gained per hour when they're gaining 17lbs of weight in milk per hour? Is that in addition to, or inclusive of the milk weight they are gaining?

Looks like you'll just have to squeeze a Blue Ringed Octopus and find out.
