Whales and Fish
Whales and fish both live in the water, but they are
different in many ways. Whales are large animals that live
in the water. Even though whales live in the water, they
must come to the top of the water to get air. When they
come to the top of the water, whales breathe in air through
a hole in the top of their heads. At the same time, they
blow out old air. Whales don’t get air like fish. Fish take in
air from the water.
Mother whales give birth to live whales. The baby
whale must come to the top of the water right away for air.
The baby drinks milk from its mother for about a year. Then
it finds its own food. Fish have babies in a different way.
Most mother fish lay eggs. The babies are born when the
eggs hatch. Right after they are born, the baby fish must
find their own food.
Whales and fish are alike in some ways too. Whales
and fish have flippers on their sides. They also have fins
on their tails. Flippers and fins help whales and fish swim.
Fins move and push the water away.Level: Two
