Blue Whales
Blue whales are a giant sea mammal.
They have belly buttons.
They are mammals, but they don't have fur.
They have a thick coat of blubber.
Conifers
Conifer trees are some of the largest trees on earth. Some of them do not have leaves. They have needles. The needles store water. They are completely green all year. The only time they get bare is if their branches fall or if they die or fall down. The largest conifer trees on earth are the sequoias. I used to think the araucaria conifer from the cretaceous time period was the largest tree ever. Now I know the largest tree ever is actually redwoods and sequoias. I still prefer the araucarias.
Hey Ian! This is such interesting information. I never knew that whales could have belly buttons! They must be really big belly buttons! How does the blubber help the whales?
ReplyDeleteYou’ve done a great job on your first blog post! I am very impressed. I can’t wait to see what you write next!

Hi Aunt Kelsey! Blubber helps whales by keeping their shape, keeping them warm, and obviously helps them float. It's very slick so they can move through the water.
DeleteIan,
ReplyDeleteThis is the best blog post I have ever read about Blue Whales.
I want to know, do Blue Whales get lint in their belly buttons?

Hi Grandpa,
DeleteHumpback whales might get lint in their belly buttons. I don't know where the lint comes from.
Hi Ian,
ReplyDeleteThank you for teaching me about Blue Whales. I don't know too much about Whales and certainly did not know they have belly buttons! That makes me wonder what else we have in common with these giant creatures. I look forward to reading your next post. Great Job!
With Love,
Papa
