　　Many people think that whales are fish. In fact, they are not fish. They are the biggest animals in the world. But they live in water. They swim very fast and can stay under the water for a long time. There is no air under the water, so they sometimes come up for air. They don't live in rivers, but in seas and oceans（洋）. There is much fat under their skin. Some people kill them for their fat because the fat is good for people's eyes. Now there are fewer and fewer whales in the world. We mustn't kill whales.
