The whale’s brain is about five times larger than ours. Whales are not smarter than us, they just have bigger nerves than we do.

The nose bones of a coyote skull form the “roof” of the inside part of the nose. Whales have these bones too.

Whales in the ocean near New York can use their loud sounds and communicate with whales all the way across the Atlantic Ocean to Japan.
