Which animal needs to come to the surface to breathe air?
-
Shark
-
Whale
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is "Whale". Whales are mammals, which means they breathe air and must surface periodically to inhale oxygen through their blowholes. Unlike sharks, which are fish and extract oxygen from water through their gills, whales rely on lungs for respiration, necessitating surfacing to breathe. This biological characteristic distinguishes them from their aquatic relatives like sharks.
