Antarctic Whales

Whales are not fish they are mammals that live in oceans all over the world. Did you know that they are the largest animals living in Antarctica?

Whales are in groups called a pod. A male whale is called a bull,  a female whale is called a cow, and a baby whale is called a calf.

Whales have very long jaw bones in there mouth. They have a thick layer of blubber under their skin, to keep them warm in freezing water.

Toothed whales have peg teeth so they are called toothed whales. Some whales have no teeth at all so they are called baleen whales.
