Amazing Blue Whale
By Ryan Belcolle
Introduction
“Oh no! The Blue Whale is endangered”! Today I will be talking to you about the Blue Whale’s habitat, body structure, and diet. Blue Whales are fascinating creatures. Let’s go dive in, and learn about the Blue Whale!
Habitat
Now I will be telling you about the Blue Whale’s habitat. The Blue Whale lives in two different places, the northeastern hemisphere, and the southern hemisphere which is also referred to the Great Barrier Reef which is, the Pacific and Atlantic ocean. Blue Whale’s live underwater but they have to swim to the the surface of the water to breath which lets the water out of the blowhole. This is interesting how fish can stay underwater, but the blue whale has to come to the surface of the water to breath. Now you know where the Blue Whale’s habitat is.
Body Structure
Blue Whale’s Body Structure this is a body structure that is very unusual. The adult Blue Whale can weigh up to 420,000 pounds. Also what is shocking is how a baby Blue Whale can weigh up to 3,000 pounds. Now I’m going to tell you the length of the Blue Whale. A female adult is 82 ft long. And a male adult is 79 ft long. Blue Whales are bluish gray and a whitish black. Blue Whales have a small shaped dorsal fin which helps them glide in the water.Also they have flippers that help them swim in the water. And they also have a large tail called a flukes.
Diet
Closing
Now I’m going to share some facts about the Blue Whale. Blue Whales are the largest animals in the world. They are even bigger than dinosaurs. Also Blue Whales are related to hippos. When Blue Whales regularly they can go 3-20 mph. And when they are in danger they can swim 24-30 mph. This is amazing how they can swim this fast because of how much they weigh. Blue Whales habitats are getting ruined. We have to do something to stop this so they don’t become extinct. Blue Whales are cool animals. I hope you enjoyed the adventure about the Blue Whale. Let’s do something so the Blue Whale doesn’t become extinct.

Go Fish
In the go fish workshop I got to create my own fish tank. We had a budget of $250. We bought many fish. We got 2 margarita snails, 1 Blue dansel, Black kuhli lend, and 4 Balloon belly molly. We spent a total $12.88 for fish. We spent a total of 105.78 on the whole project. We will need 20 gallons of water. At the end we had $46 at the end
