Whales are the biggest creatures that have ever lived on the earth. They are even bigger than the biggest dinosaurs were. Believe it or not, whales are not fish—they are mammals.

Not only are whales the biggest creatures on earth, but they also are some of the smartest. They live in family groups. They communicate with each other and hunt for food in groups. Mother whales keep their babies close by and give them gentle taps to guide them in the right direction. Sometimes a whale will lift its head out of the water just to take a look around. 

Since whales are mammals, they must breathe air. They breathe through a blowhole on their back. However, they can hold their breath for a very long time. Some kinds of whales can hold their breath for two hours at a time. Whales never really sleep. Instead, they swim along with their blowhole above the water. 

Many kinds of whales move to warmer waters during the winter months. During the summer, they build up a layer of fat so that during the move they do not have to eat.



1. Name one thing that whales do together. 


2. Why do whales sometimes lift their heads out of the water?


3. Why is it important that whales breathe air?


4. For how long can whales hold their breath?



5. Why do you think whales swim with their blowhole above the water?


6. Why do whales move away during the winter months?

And five times a day I was forced to endure this spectacle without participating in it. I never had a cent to my name. I was forced to stand in the background, and the sight of those cakes the pupils bought in a joyous uproar and devoured greedily and freely about me, overwhelmed me with passionate desire. Thus I began filling myself with water from the tap, in a corner of the yard and, every now and then, I returned to it, trying to drown my stomach to keep it qui
