Sperm whales are the biggest animals on Earth

that have teeth. They are carnivores, which
means they eat meat. Although sperm whales can
be found in all oceans, they prefer the waters
with high squid populations, which are their
main diet. A sperm whale can eat up to 1,500 kg
of food each day. Sperm whales are big animals.
The male can grow up to18 metres long and
weigh up to 54,000kg while the females are a bit
smaller with a length of 12 metres and a weight
of 17,000kg. A female sperm whale gives birth to
one calf every five to seven years after a
gestation period of fourteen to nineteen months.
The life span of sperm whales can be up to sixty
or seventy years. It is interesting to know that
they also have the largest brain of mammals.
Sperm whale populations are at risk due to
hunting and their accidental entrapment in
fishing nets.

III. Task 2

EXAMPLE WRITING:
Dolphins are not fish, they are mammals that live in the
water. Dolphins are among the most intelligent on Earth.
Although they can be found in all oceans in the world,
dolphins prefer coastal waters and bays. The size of dolphins
varies greatly. The smallest dolphin is just about 50kg in
weight and 1,2 meters in length while the largest one can
weigh up to 8,200 kg and is 10 meters long. Dolphins are
carnivores and they eat mostly fish. A female dolphin gives
birth to one calf every two years after a gestation period of
eleven to twelve months. A dolphin can normally live from
twenty-five to sixty-five years and some species of dolphins
can even live longer. Dolphin populations at risk due to the
population of their habitat and accidental entrapment in
fishing nets.

of fourteen to nineteen months. The life span of sperm whales
can be up to sixty or seventy years. It is interesting to know that
they also have the largest brain of mammals. Sperm whale
populations are at risk due to hunting and their accidental
entrapment in fishing nets.
