While-writingWrite a similar description of another animal in the table according to the outline. The blue whale is the biggest mammal in the world and a fully grown adult can weigh 100 tons or more. But it is difficult to believe that such a huge animal just feeds mainly on plankon. Its diet consists mostly on krill and small fish. So, the oceans that contain huge amounts of tiny sea-animals called krill, especially the Arctic and the Antarctic Waters are home to the blue whale. At present, it is also in danger of extinction because it is always hunted for oil and meat. As a result, there are less than 5,000 or perhaps only 2,000 left .A sampleHomework a.
