By contrast, a bottlenose's sense of smell is poor, because its blowhole, the analogue to the nose, is closed when underwater and opens only for breathing.

The nasal bones of these whales are distinctly asymmetrical, with the blowhole being located on the left side of the head ; in the sperm whale this is near the top of the head, while on the kogiids it is further forward.

There is a crease behind the blowhole, and a sharp dorsal ridge on the back near the dorsal fin.

Like all whales and dolphins, though, the snout is not a functional nose, which has evolved instead into the blowhole on the top of their heads.

The nasal opening, which will later evolve to become blowhole in modern cetaceans, is located near the tip of the long snout.

In geology, a blowhole is formed as sea caves grow landwards and upwards into vertical shafts and expose themselves towards the surface, which can result in blasts of water from the top of the blowhole if the geometry of the cave and blowhole and state of the weather are appropriate.

When waves enter the mouth of the cave they will be funneled up towards the blowhole, which can become quite spectacular if the geometry and state of the weather is appropriate.

In biology, a blowhole is the hole at the top of a cetacean's head through which the animal breathes air.

Breathing involves expelling excess water from the blowhole, forming an upward spout, followed by inhaling air into the lungs.

Under certain sea conditions, the blowhole can spray water up to 25 metres ( 82 ft ) in the air, in quantities that thoroughly drench any bystanders.

As whales reach the water surface to breathe, they will forcefully expel air through the blowhole.

The blowhole of a sperm whale, a toothed whale, is located left of centre in the frontal area of the snout, and is actually its left nostril, while the right nostril lacks an opening to the surface despite the fact that its nasal passage is otherwise well developed.

Beached whales often die due to dehydration, the body collapsing under its own weight, or drowning when high tide covers the blowhole.
