IFA 4.3 Practice

Since blue whales are mammals, they must breathe air. Blue whales have a blowhole on the tops of their heads. A blowhole is like the nostril in a human nose. It lets blue whales breathe the air in and blow it back out. When whales go underwater, they can close their blowholes. They can open their blowholes when they want, too.
