and answer the question that follows:
The blue whale is the biggest animal that has ever lived. It’s bigger and heavier than the biggest dinosaur ever was. The
largest of the dinosaur is thought to have weighed about 50 tons, while the blue whale may weigh over 150 tons, and
grow to over 100 feet long! In fact, when a blue whale is born, it is already bigger than an adult elephant.
In summer blue whales stay in cold water near the North or South Poles. In winter they move into warmer parts of the
ocean. They travel either alone or in small groups of three or four called pods.
Blue whales are now protected by law. All the major whaling nations of the world are members of the International
Whaling Commission. They have agreed that they will not hunt blue whales. But many scientists believe that there is no
way of stopping blue whales from becoming extinct. So it may not be long before the blue whale joins the dinosaur as a
museum specimen, with no living specimens left. And if you want to hear the song of the blue whale, you will have to
listen to a record, for the whales won’t be singing any more.
What is the fear regarding the future of the blue whales?
A.
They will be extinct
