    There are two main groups of whales: toothed whales and baleen whales.

    Baleen cetaceans, toothless, with baleen and two nostrils, like fin whales, blue whales, humpback whales, gray whales, etc.

    Toothed cetaceans, toothed, without baleen and with one nostril, like sperm whales, narwhals, killer whales, etc.

    Whales never get lost when they swim the sea, because they have a special ability to have more than 100 million tiny cells in their minds that emit ultrasound waves and receive them to orient themselves. They can also use this ultrasound to notify other whales to call for help or run away together in times of distress. This ultrasound can help them swim in the sea without getting lost, and they can also call for help in time.

    The various uses of whales are very beneficial to people, and now that a large number of whales are dying, human beings are also going to extinction, and we need to protect cetaceans and let them continue to live and reproduce. Let people make more advanced instruments according to their benefits, whales are friends of humans.

    In Greece, the word "whale" stands for sea monster. We divide cetaceans into two groups:

    Toothed cetaceans: toothed sea giants such as: sperm whales, orcas, dolphins, porpoises.

    Baleen cetaceans: Whiskered whales. In fact, these whiskers are chamfered teeth that grow inside the mouth and are used to filter water and catch shrimp and other small animals that whales eat, and these teeth replace the teeth.

    Depending on the species, baleen whales have two different methods of predation.

    Degreasing: Beluga whales, like beluga, filter plankton as they swim slowly, with their mouths ajar and water flowing in from the commissure.

    Feeding: When this whale approaches a large pool of shrimp on the bottom of the sea, it opens its mouth wide and swallows a large amount of water, which is packed into an extended, folded belly. When the mouth is closed, the whale's tongue reels in the water filtered by the whale's tooth plates. For example, blue whales can swallow 25,000 liters of water at a time.

    Every year, some whales leave the food-rich polar oceans in search of warmer waters in order to have offspring. They travel thousands of kilometers over a period of several months in a very certain period. Every winter, many visitors sail thousands of miles to encounter them in the Hawaiian Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.

    In the case of sperm whales, males are not allowed to migrate because there is not enough food for the squid in the breeding area.

    There are many types of whales, and in general they can be divided into two main categories: one is baleen whales, which have no teeth; One type is toothed whales, which have sharp teeth.

    The main types of baleen whales are as follows:

    Blue whales, fin whales, fin whales, bigfin whales, plugged whales, small mackerel.

Race, also known as "race", is a group of people with certain common genetic characteristics (such as skin color, hair color, hair shape, eye color, head shape, nose shape, etc.) in physical morphology, and these characteristics are formed by long-term adaptation to the natural environment in a certain area. In the early days of human development, groups of human beings lived in isolation from each other in their natural geographical environments for a long time. Due to the long-term different effects of natural conditions on human beings, as well as the long-term isolation between various groups of people and the underdevelopment of transportation links, the natural physical characteristics of people in different regions are different. >>>More
