What is a Whale?
Whales are the largest animals on Earth. They are mammals, which means they breathe air and nurse their young.
Where Whales Live Whales
live in every ocean on Earth, from icy polar seas to warm
tropical waters.
Some stay close to coasts, while others roam the open ocean.
Whale Anatomy
Whales have blowholes for breathing, fins for steering, and strong tails called flukes that help them swim.
What Whales Eat
Some
whales, like blue whales, eat tiny krill by filtering water through baleen plates. Others, like sperm whales, hunt squid and fish
Calves Baby whales are called calves. They stay close to their mothers and drink milk to grow strong.
Whale Adaptations Whales can hold their breath for a long time, dive deep underwater, and use thick layers of blubber to stay warm.
Whale Families Whales often travel in groups called pods. Pods help protect whales and make it easier to find food.
Whales and Migration
Many whales migrate thousands of miles every year, moving from cold waters where they feed to warm waters where they give birth.
Whale Communication Whales communicate with songs, clicks, and whistles. These sounds can travel for hundreds of miles underwater.
Record-Breaking Whales
The blue whale is the largest animal ever known, growing up to 100 feet long. The dwarf sperm whale is one of the smallest, only 9 feet long.
