Whales are Creatures of Mystery

Whales are found in every ocean on Earth. They are also found in some freshwater rivers, including the Amazon, Yangtze and Congo Rivers. Whales can be found in every ocean on Earth, but they tend to be larger in polar waters because there is less food available there than at lower latitudes.

The ocean is full of life. It's estimated that there are over one million species in the oceans and we still have not discovered them all. Some of these creatures are huge, such as whales and sharks, while some are small enough to fit in your hand or even your pocket! You may have seen pictures of whales before but do you know what they really look like up close? It's true that many species inhabit all seven continents but some prefer cold regions while others prefer warmer climes. Whales differ in size and shape depending on their species so it makes sense that each group has its own unique characteristics as well.

Whales inhabit all the earth's oceans and even some freshwater rivers.

Whales are found in every ocean on Earth. They are also found in some freshwater rivers, including the Amazon, Yangtze and Congo Rivers. Whales can be found in every ocean on Earth, but they tend to be larger in polar waters because there is less food available there than at lower latitudes.

Not all whales are large. Some of them are small enough to be picked up with two hands.

You may know that whales are mammals, but what you might not know is that they are not all large. Some of them are small enough to be picked up with two hands. In fact, these smaller creatures have been given their own category: dolphins. Dolphins live in the water, unlike other kinds of whales who spend most of their time on land (which is why they're called "beached whales"). Dolphins are friendly and playful creatures; however, beached whales tend to be grumpy and irritable due to dehydration combined with sunburns from being out in the sun for too long without proper sunscreen protection applied beforehand! It's important not to confuse one type of animal for another when talking about them because it could lead someone astray - and this could result in dangerous consequences such as confusion between what types foods belong where when attempting cooking recipes using only one ingredient instead two ingredients like eggs instead flour plus milk plus sugar plus salt which makes pancakes instead french toast so don't try making french toast without any milk just mix everything together first then put some batter down on top before frying it off or baking it off whatever method works best because otherwise things won't turn out right unless there's enough salt added too much will make everything taste bad though which happens sometimes when people get too excited while cooking

Though everyone knows that whales live in water, not all species prefer deep water to shallow water.

You know that whales live in water, but not all species prefer deep water to shallow water. Some species live in fresh water rivers and lakes, while others only exist in saltwater oceans.

Some whales are even known to be able to navigate between fresh and salt water. The Amazon river dolphin is one such animal, which can travel upriver from the ocean and into freshwater without any difficulty whatsoever.

Some whales can visit depths of over 2,000 feet when they search for food.

Whales can dive to depths of over 2,000 feet.

They're able to do this because they have a special organ called a "squalus." The squalus stores oxygen in the whale's blood and releases it into their muscles when needed, allowing them to dive deeper than any other animal on Earth.

Whales have natural built-in sonar that helps them find their way and locate food sources.

Whales use echolocation to find their way and locate food sources. This is a form of sonar, which stands for "sound navigation and ranging." Echolocation is a type of active sonar, meaning that it uses sound waves emitted by the animal to gain information about its surroundings. Passive sonar simply means that the device being used sends out signals that are then reflected back from objects in the environment.

In whale species such as dolphins and porpoises, sound waves are generated within the body and then transmitted through the dolphin's skull into its lower jaw bone (known as the mandible). The bone acts like an acoustic lens to focus these sounds into narrow beams or cones directed forward toward prey based on how close they are likely to be located relative to where a mammal is swimming at any given time during its dive cycle (or when hunting).

Whales hold the record of being the loudest creatures in the world. They can produce sound at a volume louder than the takeoff of a jet plane! In fact, you can hear their calls from 500 miles away under water!

This is because whales use echolocation to find their way around in the ocean and communicate with each other. Echolocation is when an animal sends out sounds that bounce off of objects and return to them as echoes so they can tell what's nearby, just like we see with our eyes. For example, bats use echolocation to help them fly at night without crashing into anything!

Whales remain one of the most mysterious species on earth despite decades of research.

Whales are one of the most mysterious species on Earth, and it's not simply because they're so large. They live in the ocean and can be seen only by those who venture out into it - which isn't everyone.

They're also mysterious because their calls are so loud that they can be heard from far away. In fact, scientists believe these calls may play an important role in communicating with each other or finding food sources.

Perhaps most intriguingly, whales' brains are actually larger than ours; this means that they are smarter than us as well!

Conclusion

The whale is one of the most mysterious creatures on earth, and it's also one of the most endangered. As research continues into their behavior patterns, we can hopefully learn more about these amazing animals before it's too late.
