CB9.The World’s Biggest Animal
Many people think that the dinosaur is the biggest animal that ever lived.They are wrong.The world’s biggest animal is still living,and it lives in the sea.It is called the Blue Whale,Blue Whales can be as long as thirty meters and weigh as much as one thousand kilos.The largest dinosaurs weighed only five hundred kilos.The whale is not only the world’s biggest animal,it is also one of the cleverest.We know that whales can talk to each other though we do not know what they are saying.We do not yet know how to “speak” whale!One day perhaps we shall learn to speak to whales,and then they will be able to tell us about themselves.
Whales are part of a family of animals called “cetaceans”.These are animals that live in the sea but unlike fish,do not lay eggs.They have live babies in the same way that cows and cats do,and give their babies milk.
There is a famous White Whale called Moby Dick.He was in a story by the American writer,Herman Melville.In this story,a sailor called Captain Ahab spends a lot of time trying to find and kill Moby Dick.Sadly,there are not many kinds of whales left.Men have killed them for thousands of years for food and other things.However,there are now laws to stop people killing most kinds of whales,so perhaps there will be more of them in the years to come.Exercises
