    Whales - I believe that most people have learned about them when they first came into contact with marine life, they are big, they eat a lot, and I still remember what my elementary school teacher mentioned to us, a whale can have a square table in its mouth, and four people sit in it to play cards to describe the whale's hugeness.

    Whales are large mammals that live in the ocean, and some whales also live in rivers, and the whales that people generally know live in the ocean. There are two main groups of whales. One is baleen whales, which are suborders of baleen whales, which are toothless and bearded.

    These whales are generally large. The other type is the toothed whale, that is, the toothed whale suborder, this kind of whale has teeth, they are different in size, basically not very large, like a fish, so people call them "whales". There are many types of whales.

    1.Killer whales

    It is the most ferocious of the cetaceans. The body size is not very large. They live in groups and cooperate with other whales when hunting. It mainly preys on penguins, seals, and some other cetaceans.

    2.Blue whale

    It is the largest whale in size. The largest is more than 30 meters long and weighs hundreds of tons. Despite its huge size, it has a gentle temperament and concealed whereabouts, like a "sweetheart" you can never figure out.

    Blue whales mainly prey on crustaceans such as krill and small fish.

    3.Beluga

    Beluga whale is a relatively small whale that weighs about a ton. We can see them inside the aquarium. Beluga whales generally live in estuaries or coastal areas with good water quality. They have protruding foreheads and look a little cute.

    4.Narwhal

    It is not large, about 5 meters long. It lives mainly in cold seas, roughly near the Arctic Circle. They mainly prey on fish such as cod. They tend to be on a diet in the summer and eat like crazy in the winter.

    5.Sperm whales

    Sperm whales are the largest toothed whales. The longest body length can reach 18 meters. They are very powerful dives and are currently the longest and deepest mammals. Sperm whales secrete a kind of "ambergris" in their intestines, which is very effective in medicine.

    6.Humpback whales

    Humpback whales are one of the ugliest whales. Don't look at it ugly, it's still very gentle. Humpback whales, mainly prey on some krill and small fish.

    It is a mammal. Whale. Although it has the word fish, it is not a fish, but a mammal that lives in water, and has the same physiological characteristics as land mammals, such as breathing with lungs, constant body temperature, viviparity, etc., and has some special physiological structures that have evolved to adapt to the aquatic environment.

    Whales and land mammals.

    The same is viviparous, and the calf is born directly from the belly of the mother whale.

    Notes:Whales have a thick layer of fat under their skin, which is called whale oil, which keeps the whale warm and can also store energy for emergencies.

    Because whales have many special structures in their bodies, they can hold their breath and slow down their heartbeat for a long time, so when they sink to the bottom of the sea, it will always take a long time before they resurface. In addition to having a structure to store oxygen, when a certain part of the body needs a large amount of blood**, there will also be a special function in the body to concentrate**.

    Whales are mammals. Whales can be collectively referred to as cetaceans or cetaceans, which are a taxa under the class Mammals, and have been confirmed by relevant studies that cetaceans evolved from terrestrial artodactyls about 50 million years ago, and have mammalian characteristics.

    Whales have mammalian characteristics, such as reproduction, whales only produce one cub per litter, and at the same time have a long growth period, because the reproductive efficiency is not high, at present, about a quarter of the species of whales are endangered under human hunting.

    Whales are currently the largest group of creatures in the world, and the largest of the cetaceans is about 239 tons, which is about 50 times the weight of the average elephant.

    Because of the changes in the earth's environment, whales came to the ocean and began a long evolution, and their snouts gradually evolved to the top of their heads. When they are in the ocean, their nostrils (stomata) are closed, and when they come to the surface, they open their stomata to breathe.

    It is because the origin of all living things evolved from the ocean, and whales once wanted to live on land, but due to the influence of natural predators and the environment, they returned to the ocean.

    Because whales are too large and have not evolved limbs suitable for life on land, this means that land is not suitable for whales, and they can only live in the sea.

    Like all animals, whales breathe with lungs and are warm-blooded animals with their young fed by suckling and a little hair. The forelimbs of the whale form fins, the hind limbs are completely vestigial, and the tail becomes a caudal fin with nostrils in the upper part of the head. Of particular note is the blue whale.
