Whales are the largest animal on earth. Bigger than elephants, they
may grow 95 feet long, and weight 150 tons. A baby blue whale, just born, can
be 23 feet long and weight 3 tons.
Although whales live in the oceans and can swim like fish, they are
not fish. They are mammals, like cows and elephants. Unlike fish, they bear young
alive net as eggs. Their babies live on their mother’s milk. They breathe
through their lungs and hold their breathe when they go under water. If they
cannot come to the surface to breathe fresh air, they will drown. They are warm
blooded. Fish, however, lay eggs, breathe oxygen in the water and are cold
blooded.
Whales live in all the oceans. In the winter some of them go to warm
waters to breed and in the summer most of them go to cold waters to feed. There
are two kinds of whales, whales with teeth (toothed whales) and whales without
teeth (baleen whales). The toothed whales eat fish and squid, which they can
catch with their teeth, although they swallow their food without chewing it.
The baleen whales eat plankton (small sea animals and plants). When they find
plankton, they open their mouths and swim into the plankton. When they close
their mouths, they squeeze out the water and swallow the plankton.
Whales have few enemies. Only human beings and the killer whales
attack whales. And whales do not seem to fight among themselves. They usually
live from 20 to 30 years.

A Lion and a
Mouse
A lion was awakened from sleep by a mouse running over his face.
Rising up angrily, he caught him and was about to kill him when the mouse
piteously entered, saying, “If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to
repay your kindness.”
The lion laughed and let him go. It happened shortly after this that
the lion was caught by hunters, who bound with him with strops to the ground.
The mouse, recognizing his roar, came, gnawed the rope with his teeth, and set
him free, exclaiming, “You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help
you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; now you know
that it is possible for even a mouse to confer on a big lion.”

Atlantic from May through November, with the pack of the hurricane
