nothing except lie about and sleep. “Lion ought not to be like that!” Young lion said to himself, so he

bag of nuts and two bananas in the young lion’s cage. The young lion was very surprised. “I don’t
understand this,” he said to the old lion, “I behave like a real lion while you lie there doing nothing, and

WHALES
Whales are the largest animals on the earth. Bigger than elephants, they may grow 95
feet long, and weigh 150 tons. A baby blue whale, just born, can be 23 feet long and weigh 3
tons.
Although whales live in the oceans and swim like fish, they are not fish. They are
mammals, like cows and elephants. Unlike fish they bear young alive, not as eggs. Their babies
live on their mother’s milk. They breathe through their lungs and hold their breath when they go
under water. If they cannot come to the surface to breathe fresh air, they will drown. They are
warm blooded. Fish, however, lay eggs, breathe oxygen in the water, and are cold-blooded.
Whales life in all-the ocean, in the winter some of them go to warm waters to breed and
in the summer most of them go to cold waters to feed. There are to kinds of whales, whales
with teeth (tooted whales) and whales without teeth (baleen whales). The toothed whales eat
fish and squid, which they can catch with their teeth, although they swallow their food without
chewing it. The baleen whales eat plankton (small sea animals and plants). When they find
plankton, they open their mouth and swallow the plankton.
Whales have few enemies. Only human and killer whale attack whales. And whales do not
seem to fight among themselves. They usually live from 20 to 30 years.
