Whales are a diversified group of totally water placental sea creatures with a vast distribution.
They are the world's largest mammals and are reserved to ocean waters only, although sometimes they might appear around the coast. Whales are fully aquatic, accessible animals that can eat, reproduce, bear children, suckle, and rear their young while at sea.
The term whale stems from the Old English word whalefish, which means big sea fish. The names whale and dolphin are occasionally used interchangeably. As per research by scientists, whales are marine mammals, like humans, who give birth to their young. Once born, kids live close to their mothers for milk. Mothers feed their milk to the young to provide for the requirements for fat and nutrients for a few days after they give birth. Whales are majestic animals who belong to the ocean world, be it the Pacific or Indian ocean. Though, further research on these ocean animals has indicated that several species are endangered due to human actions across the world.
