Today, I am going to tell you some incredible facts about blue whales.
They are the largest known animals to ever live on Earth. They can grow up to 100 feet (30 metres) long and weigh up to 200 tonnes.
Blue whales have wide, flat heads, and their tails are large and triangular. They are filter feeders and have baleen plates in their mouths. Baleen is similar to hair, but it is very thick and tough like teeth.
Blue whales eat tiny animals called krill. Krill float together in huge groups, which makes it much easier for the enormous blue whales to eat them.

My favourite subject is art because I can express myself, and it is fun.
My favourite fruits are mangoes and strawberries. My favourite animal is a dog, although I like cats a lot too.
My favourite holiday I ever had was when I went to Japan.
I went to Shenzhen during the winter holidays. It was Christmas, and there were so many decorations. I even saw one of my school friends there!
I went by bus. But there were some language problems there. When I came back, it was really close to the new year.

My favourite animals are dogs. They are loyal, playful and always happy to see you.
I still remember a fun memory with my neighbour’s dog, Brownie. One day, I was eating a biscuit in the park, and Brownie sat in front of me, tilted his head and gently tapped my leg with his paw.
He didn’t snatch the biscuit – he just looked at me with big, shiny eyes. I laughed and gave him half. After that, every time he saw me, he would run over and wag his tail like crazy.
