<div>A whale (cetacean) is a massive mammal that lives in the ocean. It relies on fresh air just like other mammals, and unlike fish. The whale is warm-blooded like animals, and unlike fish. But whales have many extraordinary features that are ''not like'' other mammals, including:<br />
<br />
* they decide when to breathe, rather than breathing unconsciously<br />
<br />
* they sleep 8 hours a day, yet need to be conscious to breathe<br />
<br />
* they can communicate with each other by making remarkably loud noises<br />
<br />
* these extraordinary noises can travel for miles under water<br />
<br />
* the females nurse their calves while swimming underwater<br />
<br />
* the nursing calves are somehow able to avoid taking in saltwater while nursing<br />
<br />
* the males have a unique cooling system for their internal reproductive organs<br />
<br />
* some have two blow-holes, but others only have one<br />
<br />
* the blow-holes pass air above water, yet resist intense pressure underwater<br />
<br />
* they have massive brains, much larger than the brains of other mammals<br />
<br />
* Various fictional tales notwithstanding, remaining alive inside a whale for any length of time would be impossible due to lack of oxygen and the presence of strong acids. <br />
