Can you guess who I am? I am a blue whale. Am I a fish? No!
A fish is born from an egg, but I am not. I am a mammal! A fish can breathe under the water, but I cannot.
So, I have to come out of the water to breathe. Look at me breathe! I spout water high into the air.
I am the biggest of all living animals. I am longer than five buses. I am the heaviest kind of whale. I weigh more than twenty elephants. But I can dive very deep. Then, I can quickly swim back up again.
You think I eat the largest fish, don't you? No, I just eat the smallest creatures in the ocean. They are called plankton. I also eat krill. I like krill the best.
I have no teeth. I just have a row of 320 plates. The plates help me catch my food. Let me show you how I eat.
First, I gulp a large mouthful of water. Then, I push the water out of my mouth. Finally, I lick the small creatures off my plates with my huge tongue.
I am an amazing creature! Ha-ha! When you sail on the ocean, wave at me. Then, I will salute you!
