WhalesWhales are large, intelligent, and beautiful animals. The biggest whale is the blue whale, which grows up to 29 metres long - the height of a 9-storey building.
The whale is not only the largest animal in the world today, it is the largest animal which has ever lived, it's bigger than the dinosaur. These enormous animals eat about 4 tons of tiny krill each day.
All whales are mammals. We call mammals the animals which are warm-blooded, and feed their kids on milk. In spite of their big bodies, whales move easily through the water. They have adapted to life in the open oceans and never come on land. Unlike fish, whales breathe air into lungs and swim by moving their strong tail up and down. Fish swim by moving their tails left and right.
Whales usually migrate over very long distances each year. They often travel in groups which are called pods. Most whales are very acrobatic and can jump high out of the water.
Whales live in social groups and have very strong social ties. The strongest social ties are between mother and calf (a whale's kid is called a calf). Normally a female whale gives birth to one calf and feeds it on milk, which is very fat. Mother whales care for their calves for a long period of time, for a year at least, feeding them on milk and protecting them. In 2006 an adult whale was spotted in the waters of the Thames. It was very unusual, and the scientists could not understand what the whale was doing in shallow waters of the Thames. Then they found out that it had made up its way to Central London as it was looking for its lost calf. The rescue party tried to save the whale and get it down into the sea, where the other whales of the pod were waiting for it. Unfortunately, the whale died during the rescue operation because of a great shock.
There are still lots of fascinating facts about whales. And lots of mysteries are still waiting to be solved.
