whale definition and meaning

What is a "whale"?

The whale is a magnificent marine mammal, known for its colossal size, streamlined body, and marine adaptations. Whales are the largest animals on Earth, with some species reaching lengths of up to 100 feet or more. They have streamlined bodies with smooth skin and a sleek shape that allows them to glide effortlessly through the water. Whales have a blowhole on top of their heads that they use to breathe, and they are known for their impressive spouts or "blows" when exhaling air. They are powerful swimmers, capable of diving to great depths and undertaking long migrations. Whales are known for their complex social structures and vocalizations, often referred to as "whale songs." They are filter-feeders or hunters, depending on the species, and primarily feed on plankton, krill, fish, or other marine organisms. Whales are iconic and awe-inspiring creatures that have captivated human imagination for centuries, representing the majesty and mystery of the world's oceans.
