be trained to do tricks.  \nHumpback whale cow with her calf  \n0  \nf all the creatures on this earth,whalesare the largest.They are the most powerful.Whales live in all the oceans of the world,yet they are not fish.They are warm-bloodedanimals with a backbone.Like all mammals,  \nbaby whales drink their mother's milk.Whales breathe air and are covered withskin.  \nScientists call whales cetaceans.Cetaceansare large sea mammals that live in water.The great whales and their smaller relatives,dolphins and porpoises,are cetaceans.  \nRight whale with her calf  \nWhales range in size from the four-footporpoise up to the 100-foot blue whale.Theblue whale is one-third the length of afootball field.  \nMost whales like to be with one another.They are social animals and they travel ingroups called schools or pods.Whales mustcome to the surface of the water to breathethrough their nostrils,which are called  \nCommon dolphin  \n# Blue whale with vapor spout\n\nblowholes.The blowhole is on the top of thewhale's head.Air passes in and out of thewhale's lungs through its blowhole.  \nWhen whales breathe the air out,it  \nbecomes a vapor spout.The vapor spout is amixture of air,gases and condensed waterfrom the whale's breath.This vapor spoutlooks like a fountain.It might go fifteenfeet in the air!  \nHumpback whale leaping out of the water (left)and swimming onits back(right)with its flippers in the air  \nThe blowhole is tightly closed when thewhale dives below the surface of the water.Some whales can hold their breath for overan hour before they come up for air.  \nMost whales and dolphins swim near thesurface of the water.Others,like the spermwhales,are deep-sea divers.They dive fordeep-water squid.","cbCaio6eSfv3t8YM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaio6eSfv3t8YM","pdf",2837396,52,"English","# Summary\n## Key facts about whales and cetaceans\n## Size, social behavior, and breathing\n## Species
