That doesn't really answer my question.

It's called kenetic energy transfered to heat energy. :/

They're not moving fast enough to generate heat.

Maybe they have internal muscles that are vibrating really quickly.

Yea and maybe they also have special cells that heat up quickly in sunlight when they are exsposed.

Muscles...perhaps. Solar cells, no, because a lot are underground.

And alot are in the sky too and those ofthen float alot higher than underground onse.

It shouldn't matter how high they fly, only the fact that they can.

It matters because if underground onse could gererate more heat then they would be able to fly higher as well because the more heat the more it expands and the lighter it becomes. Exspansion increases surface volume and becoming lighter helps it fight the effects of gravity. But as it gets higher and higher the air becomes thinner and thinner and alo lighter and the blooper suddly becomes heavier than the air unless it generates extra heat to make itself even lighter.

Like I said, they could generate helium themselves and use this to float. they allow a certain amount of the helium out, to mantain a steady level of altitude...

What's stopping the helium from leaving the atmosphere?

Gravity. The helium would rise up to form an atmospheric layer, sort of like the bubbles in soapy water. Maybe solar radiation would then convert it to something else (like oxygen, maybe).

Exactly, it rises up to the atmosphere, making it difficult for a creature to utilize it. Besides, if it gets turned into a different element, then what would create a steady stream of helium for all eternity?

I agree with all of the theories....:/

Isn't it amazing that we are capable of creating CO2? Parabloopers could create the helium...

Helium is a noble gas, and as such, isn't capable of combining with anything. So whereas we can combine elements to release CO2, Bloopers wouldn't be able to do this with helium.

Then maybe hydrogen is the answer, despite is flammability. Hydrogen is a lot more common tham helium, you don't need as much of it to float, and it reacts with pretty much anything.

Yea. Hydrogen. It's the answer to everything after all. It's the future of automobiles :/

They could split elements away from helium... or create it entirely from scratch.

You can't create an element. You can combine elements, as we do with molecular fusion in our bodies. And you can tear apart molecules, as plants do with CO2. But you can't make an element from nothing, or tear it apart into nothing.
