Many people think that a whale is a type of fish. Although a whale is not a
fish at all, whales and fish are much alike in many ways. Like fish, whales live in
the water. Both whales and fish have fins to swim. Whales often stay together in
groups, which are known as pods. Many kinds of fish also stay together in
groups, which are called schools. Whales are different from fish in one important
way. A fish can breathe underwater, but a whale cannot. A whale must come to
the surface of the water to breathe. It gets air through a hole on its back. A
whale can hold its breath under the water for a long time. However, after a while,
it must come back up for more air.
A whale is not a fish, but a mammal. There are many kinds of mammals,
like dogs, cats, and horses. Most mammals live only on land. Some mammals,
such as beavers, live partly on land and partly in water. In addition to whales,
just one other mammal—the sea cows—lives only in water.
