To see what is around them (maybe a boat in the area),
they must breech. This means that whales cannot see
above the water. If they breech they can see what is around
them when they jump up and see.

Characteristics

All whales look different and can be different sizes. Whales
can be approximately 8-100 feet long. Some whales are
blue some are black some have baleen and others have teeth. It all depends on what kind of whale it is.

Are They Aggressive?

Only two specific kind of whales are aggresssive. Those two are the dangerous Killer Whales and Dolphins. They don't
fight each other, but other animals in the seas.

Habitat

Whales in general live in all the oceans of the world.
Some live in the Pacific, some in the Atlantic, etc.

What They Eat

Whales fed on tiny plakton and fish. I think this is
odd because some of the largest animals to live on this planet, survive on some of the smallest in the ocean. Their young stay with their mother about a year to feed on milk.

SN pecies

There are abot 85-73 toothed species. Also, there are 12-14 baleen species. I saw a pattern while I was looking through a brochure. Whales either get there names from their appearence, background, behavior, etc.

Communication

They use a method called ecolocation or more commonly known as "Whale Song" it helps whales to detect size and nature of an object around them.
