Our class has been learning about whales, and we have our own in-class resource person on the subject, Ben. A whale baby is called a calf. It is born alive and tail first. It has to go right up to the surface to breathe. There are two groups of whales.
Baleen whales have a moustache of whalebone attached to their upper jaw.
They eat plankton and krill. Toothed whales have teeth, eat fish and make chirping and clicking noises. Orca or Killer whales are a type of Toothed whale. Each group or pod of Orcas has ten sounds all its own. Killer whales are the largest members of the doplhin family.
