BLUE WHALES

        Blue whales, the world’s largest animals, have (0) .......been....... sighted again in British waters for the first time in (16) ………at………..…… least twenty years. Indications that a population of blue whales was inhabiting the waters west (17) …………of……..…… Scotland came for the first time from the United States Navy, (18) …………whose..………… surveillance system picked up the songs of a lot of different whales. American zoologists subsequently identified the blue whale song among (19) ……them…………..…… .

        Now marine biologist, Carol Booker, (20) …………who…..……… actually seen a blue whale there herself. She has no doubt about what she saw, because they have distinctive fins which are very small for (21) …..………their………… size. She says, “Worldwide they were almost extinct and (22) ………..…it………… seemed they had completely vanished from the North Atlantic, so you can imagine how I felt actually seeing (23) ……one……………..… ! However, it is certainly (24) ………..……too……… soon to say if it is an indication of a population recovery.” She goes (25) …………on……..…… to say, “What it does show (26) …………is………..… the importance of this area of the ocean for whales, and (27) ………..…how………… essential it is to control pollution of the seas.”

        Bigger than (28) ……………any……..… dinosaur known to man, blue whales are the largest animals ever to (29) …………have……..…… lived on earth. A blue whale is more than six metres long at birth and, (30) ………when………..…… fully grown, its heart is the same height as a tall man and weighs as much as a horse.
