*** About Whales: Whales, the largest mammals on Earth, command awe and respect owing to their size and majesty. Typically residing in all of the world’s oceans, whales are divided into two broad categories: baleen whales and toothed whales. The baleen whales, like the depicted blue whale, feed by filtering small animals out of the water through their baleen plates, which act as a sieve. Whales are not just massive but also intelligent, with complex behaviours that include sophisticated communication skills and social structures. Conservation efforts are critical for whales as many species are threatened by habitat destruction, ocean pollution, and climate change. Their survival is intertwined with the health of marine ecosystems.
