Whale tales

Article Abstract:

Whales are among the largest animals in the world, and the Blue Whale is the largest creature to have ever inhabited Earth. Whales were once so highly valued for their blubber, a rich source of oil, that hunting almost rendered them extinct. There are approximately 40 varieties of whales in the world.
