Body parts of whales

This is a usually picture of all whales body parts
Whales are great prepared for living  in water. They have strong flukes and flippers they could easily leap out of water  .Some whales have very small flukes but they are super powerful. There eyes sight  are not useful under he seas murky waters so it has to use echolocation to find food. But echolocation can be a bit harmful for the  whale because the sound will get the attention of a predator.

Orcas food chain

I was interested in orcas  because of  their unique food chain and their unpredictable behavior and how their intelligent work like. I have never seen one alive but I hope so I would. Their colour is also special.

In my mind orcas are unique by. . .
  • their food chain  
  • their body colour



    Let me tell you the food chain that I made

    Orcas use echolocation to catch seals. When using echolocation orcas make buzzing sounds which makes it quite difficult for them to catch food. What  do seals eat? They eat fish,They have eat lots of fish to keep their body warm. What do fish eat? They eat worms and plankton. Fish have an easy life of being predator to worms and plankton. What do worms eat? They suck  tiny pieces of tiny plants. What do plants eat?  They eat water minerals. That is the cut  part of our food chain.

    The unique part of  the body colour is that it does not only have  black, white and gray it also has the colour purple you could find it beside the dorsal fin.

    And that's why I think orcas are an unique animal.
