* Whales are the largest animals on Earth. Blue whales, in particular, can grow up to 100 feet long and weigh over 200 tons!
* They are mammals. Despite living in the ocean, whales are mammals. This means they are warm-blooded, breathe air, and give birth to live young.
* Whales communicate using sound. They produce a variety of complex sounds, including songs, clicks, and whistles. These sounds can travel for hundreds of miles underwater.
* They eat a lot. Baleen whales, like blue whales, filter tiny organisms called krill from the water using baleen plates in their mouths. Toothed whales, like orcas, have teeth and eat fish, squid, and even other marine mammals.
* Whales migrate long distances. Many whale species migrate thousands of miles each year between their feeding and breeding grounds. 0 reply

Vitamins and Minerals: The Building Blocks of Life
Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients essential for normal bodily functions. They are involved in all vital processes, from growth and development to maintaining immunity and metabolism.
What are vitamins and minerals?
* Vitamins are organic compounds that the body cannot synthesize on its own in sufficient quantities. We obtain them from food.
* Minerals are inorganic substances, such as calcium, iron, zinc, and others. They are components of bones, teeth, hormones, and enzymes.
Why do we need them?
* Growth and development: Vitamins and minerals are necessary for the formation of bones, muscles, and other tissues.
* Metabolism: They are involved in the breakdown of nutrients and energy production.
* Immunity: Vitamins and minerals strengthen the immune system, protecting the body from infections.
* Nervous system: They are necessary for the normal functioning of the brain and nerves. 0 reply
