What is a Whale?

A whale is one of the largest and most magnificent creatures living in the oceans. Despite their huge size, whales move gracefully through the water, using powerful tails called flukes. Depending on the species, whales can live from 30 to over 90 years. Their skin feels smooth and rubbery, perfect for swimming through the chilly seas. Whales make beautiful sounds, like songs and clicks, to communicate across great distances. They love to feast on small fish, krill, or plankton, depending on their type. Whether diving deep below the waves or leaping high into the air, whales are true wonders of the deep blue world!
