Well, we know very less about the animals living in the water. A couple of months back, I was watching a documentary about aquatic animals and they explained a number of animals such as sea horses, whales, penguins, dolphins. I got attracted to whale fish. This is a huge animal, in fact, the largest animal living in the sea. The whale fishes live in the ocean all around the world. The size of whale fish varies from 80 to 150 feet. This creature’s average life is 77 years, however, some whales can live more than 100 years. I also read about whale fish, this creature breathes like other animals in the air. They are warm-blooded animals and feed milk to their infants. They also have hair on their body. Like my other animals, whales teach, learn and cooperate with their children. They mourn when a member of their group dies. Whales produce extremely loud noises. Whales eat fishes as well as plankton. So this is the aquatic animal about which I have learned and know something.
