Read the text and answer the questions 1 to 5.
Whales are sea-living mammals. They; therefore, breathe air, but cannot survive on land. Some
species are very large indeed and the blue whale, which can exceed 30 m in length, is the largest
animal to have lived on earth. Superficially, the whale looks like a fish, but there are important
differences in its external structure: its tail consists of a pair of broad, flat, horizontal paddles (the
tail of a fish is vertical) and it has a single nostril on top of its large, broad head. The skin is smooth
and shiny and beneath it lies a layer of fat (blubber). This is up 30 cm in thickness and serves to
converse heat and body fluids.
