Whales By Hannah Burke

A cheerful life begins,
and other ends everyday,
in a whales life .

An immature calf has to breath,
Gasp, puff and get oxygen,
At least 12 times an hour,
That's a long time between breaths!

The mammal is growing,
Maturing and getting fatter,
But there is still in danger
He stays with his mother.

Loving, caring and feeding the baby.
Fear builds up,
With every whale they see.

Now the mammal is fully grown,
Helping, singing and sharing food,
He can wait 40 minutes,

Until he has to breath.

These loving mammals,
Can make new life.
Calfs will come and,
The life cycle will start again .
