The whale is a warm-blooded, air-breathing animal, giving birth to its young alive, sucking them—and, like all mammals, originated on land. There are many【C1】______of this. Its front flippers(鳍状肢), used for steering and stability, are traces of feet.

The greatest【C8】______of whales is their diving ability. The sperm whale dives to the bottom for his 【C9】______food, the octopus(章鱼). In that search he is known to go as far down as 3, 200 feet, where the 【C10】______is 1, 400 pounds to a square inch.

Just how he does it scientists have not【C13】______. It is believed that some of the oxygen is stored in a special【C14】______of blood vessels, rather than just held in the lungs. And it is believed that a special kind of oil in his head is some sort of a compensating mechanism that 【C15】______adjusts the internal pressure of his body. But since you can’t bring a live whale into the laboratory for study, no one knows just how these things work.
