Whales are my favourite animals. They are gentle and large. They are also a symbol of freedom and wisdom in many cultures.
Whales are the largest animals in the ocean. They are huge, with smooth skin and big flippers(鳍肢). They can swim very fast and dive deep into the ocean. Some whales can even sing beautiful songs.
They are very social(群居的) and loving. They travel together in families called pods. They are also clever. They can remember migration(迁移) routes and know how to find food. Whales are very kind too. They protect and look after each other. Mother whales help their babies reach the water to take in air.
Whales are an important part of ocean life. However, they are now in danger. They live in the sea, but people make the ocean dirty. Sometimes they eat plastic(塑料) by mistake. We should stop throwing plastic into the sea. We must protect their living environment and keep the ocean clean for them.
