do. they are mammals. they give birth to babies and produce milk inside their own bodies to feed them. humans are also mammals. there are lots of stories about whales, but perhaps the most famous story is moby dick, which was written by an american writer named herman melville. in the book, a sailor named captain ahab spends a lot of time trying to find and kill an enormous white whale named moby dick. sadly, there are not many kinds of whales left. people have killed them for food and other things for thousands of years. however, there are now laws(法律) to stop people killing most kinds
