There are lots of animals on the earth. What is the biggest animal of all? The whale is. A blue whale weighs
more than a hundred tons.
Whales live in the sea, but they are not fish. They are mammals and must have air to breathe. The babies
drink milk from the mother's body. Every spring, groups of whales swim hundreds of kilometers to warm
places.
Each group goes to the same place every year. The mothers take very good care of their babies. Whales
are a gentle kind of giant. They always live together and help each other. They "talk" to each other in the water
with a high noise that sounds like singing.
Yet people kill over a hundred whales a day. They kill them to make many things. The whale dies very
slowly and in great pain. Some ships kill every whale they can find, even mother whales and babies. If things
go on like this, there will be no young whales to grow up and no mother whales to have more young.
