Elementary School Text "Whale" Full Text

Whales are a special type of mammal. They have long baleen, huge bodies, and beautiful appearances. Whales are animals that live in the ocean. They have sharp teeth to hunt fish and other sea creatures. Whales were a very valuable resource because their meat could be eaten and their baleen could be used to make medicine. Whale oil also had high commercial value.
