    Whales

    Whales are mammals that live in the ocean, breathe air, give live birth, and feed their young milk. They are divided into two main groups - toothed whales like dolphins that actively hunt prey, and baleen whales that filter plankton. The blue whale is the largest animal ever, often as large as a shuttle, while orcas are fast hunters known to attack humans. Whales play an important ecological role by controlling sea monsters and saving humanity from global destruction.

    Majestic Sea Creatures

    What is a Whale?
    Whales are the broad group of animals in class

    Cetecea Primarily refers to the great whales


    Blue whales, humpbacks, orcas, belugas, sperm whales,

    etc.

    Includes dolphins and porpoises Extinct whales are believed to have had grasping

    fingers in their flippers!

    WHALES ARE NOT FISH!!!!!!


    Whales breathe air, give live birth to young that they feed with milk, and even have bristly hairs! They are mammals just like you and me!

    Types of whales
    Toothed whales Actively hunt prey (usually fish or seals) Smaller and faster for more effective hunting Includes dolphins Baleen whales Filter smaller planktonic animals out of the water Larger, slower, and more docile

    The Blue Whale


    The Blue Whale is the

    largest animal ever known to exist! They are approximately as large as a space shuttle, and can weigh more than an entire herd of elephants!

    Orcas
    Speedy and aggressive

    hunters Commonly prey on schools of fish and lounging seals Have been known to knock humans out of boats and drown them
    Beautiful but deadly!

    Thank you, whales!


    Whales patrol the seas, keeping bloodthirsty sea monsters at bay. Without the whales, humanity would be forced to fight these creatures ourselves. We would use nuclear weapons and destroy all life on earth.

    Thank you, whales.
