I Look Like...

I am a blue whale. I’ll tell you what I look like, top and bottom, side to side. I am the most colossal creature ever known on Earth. Full-grown blue whales usually weigh two hundred tons and measure ten feet long from head to tail. I am a mammal, which means I have hair, am warm-blooded, breathes air, and give birth to live young. I have a titanic layer of fat, which is called blubber. It helps keep me warm in really cold places with cold water. I am many times larger than a human, so my body parts are huge too. My lungs can hold more than one thousand gallons of air, while you puny little humans can only hold one point three gallons of air. Also, I can spray water up to thirty feet in the air! Did you know that we blue whales are not actually blue? We are actually a mottled blue-gray! Our underbellies are actually a yellowish color from all the tiny little microorganisms that make their homes on our skin.
