Whales

summary
Whales are large magnificent creatures. Much like the Dolphin they are mammals, not fish. Instead of gills or lungs, the whale breathes through a blowhole located on the top of its head. The biggest whale ever was a blue whale that was 29 metres long. The smallest was a Dwarf Sperm whale 2.6 metres long. Most whales eat 4 tons of Krill and Plankton but the Orca (Killer Whale) is a carnivore. There are many species of whale but here a just a few: Orca, Humpback, Blue Whale and the Sperm whale.

Endangered whales
Many whales have only one predator: man. We hunt them for their blubber (fat) and their skin and meat.
