Whales

They are long living creatures.

They breath from their blowholes and that's why they are mammals too.

They feed their milk to their baby... Wow I didn't knew that🤧

They are social mammals.

Some of them chew their food, while others swallow their prey whole.

They take extraordinary care towards their young one 😭✨

What they eat?

The whales are carnivorous who eats aquatic creatures and also plants.

But google said.. I didn't understand.. Let me show you what they said.

Whales eat a variety of species from the entire food chain from tiny zooplankton to other large mammals. Some species feed on swarms of zooplankton (copepods and euphausiids, or "krill"). Others feed on schooling fish. The sperm whale feeds on squid.

If you understand what this means 😭
