**Five Fascinating Facts About Whales**
1. **They’re the Largest Animals on Earth**
- The blue whale is the biggest animal to ever live, growing up to 100 feet long and weighing as much as 200 tons—equivalent to 33 elephants!
2. **Whales Can Sing**
- Humpback whales are famous for their complex songs, which can last for hours and travel over 20 miles underwater. Male whales use these songs to communicate and attract mates.
3. **Some Whales Are Record-Breaking Divers**
- Sperm whales can dive over 7,000 feet deep and hold their breath for up to 90 minutes while searching for food like giant squid.
4. **They Help the Ocean Ecosystem**
- Whales play a critical role in the ocean ecosystem. Their fecal plumes release nutrients into the water, which supports the growth of phytoplankton—key producers of oxygen on Earth.
5. **They’re Mammals, Not Fish**
- Whales breathe air through blowholes, give birth to live young, and nurse their calves with milk, just like other mammals.
