whales - Full Audio Book - Learn English Through Story

Whales are magnificent marine mammals belonging to the order Cetacea. They are known for their immense size, intelligence, and complex social behaviors. Whales are divided into two main groups: baleen whales (such as the blue whale, the largest animal on Earth) and toothed whales (such as sperm whales and orcas). Baleen whales filter-feed on tiny organisms like krill, while toothed whales hunt fish and squid using echolocation.

Whales play a vital role in marine ecosystems by regulating food chains and supporting ocean health. They are also migratory animals, traveling thousands of kilometers annually. Sadly, many whale species face threats from habitat destruction, climate change, and hunting, making their conservation critical for biodiversity.
