The blue whale is a very big and amazing animal that lives in the ocean! When the blue whale wants to breathe, it breathes in air through holes on top of its head called blowholes. After it takes a big breath in, it blows the air out loudly. When it blows out, you can see a big splash of water and air called a spout. This spout can be super tall—almost as tall as a 3-storey building! Imagine the spout shooting up high, like a giant water fountain in the ocean. Isn’t that cool?
