 Whales

There are many different kinds of whales. Whales spend their lives in the seas and
oceans of the world, but they are not fish. Whales are mammals so they must breathe air. If a
whale cannot reach the surface of the water to breathe, it will drown. A whale’s nostrils are
called blowholes.
They are on top of the whale’s head so the whale can breathe when it comes to the
surface of the sea. Some whales can hold their breath underwater for more than two hours! A
