The Greatest Mystery Of Whales
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(51)of this. Its front flippers (鳍状肢), used for steering and stability, are traces of feet.

The greatest(58)of whales is their diving ability. The sperm whale dives to the bottom for his(59)food, the octopus (章鱼). in that search he is known to go as far down as 3,200 feet, where the(60)is 1,400 pounds, to a square inch Doing so he will(61)underwater long as one hour.

It is believed that some of the oxygen is stored in a special(64)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 compensating mechanism that(65)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.
