Whales are mammals.They live in water.


 Whales have a  fish like shape. 

Whales are large, streamlined aquatic mammals with eyes, mouth,a blowhole and two flippers.

They use their flippers to swim in the water.

Whales have a large tail or flukes that helps them to move in the water.In the oceans we can find whales were the water is cold like the Arctic and Antarctic oceans.

Blue whales reach maturity at 10-15 years.A curved  beaked whale has been recorded to dive to a depth of 3 km for over 2 hours. Sperm whales are also champion divers.Adults can stay underwater for almost two hours and dive to depths of 2,000 meters,maybe more.
