How whales live

Whales are not fish, but mammals just like us.

  • They have lungs and breathe air.
  • They are warm-blooded and must maintain a constant internal body temperature.
  • Their young grow within the uterus of the mother where they are fed directly through the placenta.
  • After birth, they are nursed on their mother’s milk.
