Whale Museum

Today we went whale watching. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales but after that we went to the Whale Museum and saw plenty of the whales. At the Whale Museum we saw a wide variety of different types of whales and orcas. The museum had whale skeletons hanging from the walls and ceilings. There was a little baby whale in a glass case who was found dead on the beach shore but they didn't know how he died. Our tour guide was really outgoing and told us a lot of interesting facts and stories about the history of different types of whales and orcas. We learned a lot about whales, orcas, and seals. Some of the things we learned about killer whales was that they are at the top of the food chain. They are also known as the lions of the sea. Orca is a type of dolphin. We also learned that when the whales sleep, only half of their brain sleeps and the other half stays awake to make sure it can still breath. Today was very adventurous.
