WHALE WORDS

Scotland is a great place to see whales, dolphins and

porpoises. It is amazing to see them leap out of the water,

or to just glimpse a fin or a fluke (tail). These animals are

mammals, like we are, so they need to come up to the

surface to breathe air through a blowhole. They have a

thick layer of blubber to keep them warm in our cold seas!
