10. Whales are mammals just like us except they live in the ocean
Whales are mammals just like us except they live in the ocean. Whales breathe air as we do.
Therefore, they need to reach the surface of the ocean to breathe because they cannot breathe underwater.
To breathe, whales have a blowhole in the top of their heads.
When they reach the surface, they take air in through this blowhole.
The Blue Whale is the largest animal to have ever lived. It can be 100 feet in length and weigh 120 tons.
Each whale species has its own variety of sound or song, which can be a click, groan, whistle, creak, burp, cry, scream, or chirp. Some sounds are inaudible to humans but can be heard by other whales thousands of miles away. Have a listen to the sounds.
