The blue whale is the largest and heaviest animal on earth. It can weigh as much as 200 tons. Many people like watching blue whales swim, and they think it is one of the most beautiful things to see. Blue whales live in all oceans except the Arctic Ocean. They eat a lot, but they eat some of the tiniest animals in the ocean. A blue whale can eat around four tons of these a day.
Blue whales can live up to 90 years. When a blue whale dies at sea, it becomes food for many kinds of animals living in and around the sea. This food lasts for over a year and it helps to create a lively and healthy ecosystem. Blue whales play an important role in our world, so we must protect them.

Hello everyone! My name is Billy the Blue Whale. I am the largest and heaviest animal on earth! I weigh over 100 tons. I’m heavy, but I love to swim. I live in the ocean and I love it here. But I don’t go to the Arctic because it’s too cold! I can eat some of the tiniest animals in the ocean. I can eat several tons of them every day.
Complete your passage about the blue whale based on the text in 3a.
Did you know I can live up to 90 years? That’s about as long as humans! When my life ends in the ocean, my body becomes a super important buffet for animals living in and around the sea. By helping so many animals survive, I keep the ocean happy and healthy. That’s why humans need to protect my whale family.
