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. Doing so he will【C11】______underwater as long as one hour.

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.
