Did You Know…

…that I went to the Library yesterday? Only after I'd had a big portion of ice cream with lots of whipped cream, of course. :mrgreen:

Max, get to the point! It is not important that you went to the Ice Cream Parlour. Every Panda goes there for some yummy ice cream when the weather is hot, right?

Weeeell, at the Library, I looked at a book about whales. Now that Billy will leave us soon, I want to find out more about him and whales in general. I found out some pretty cool stuff about whales. For example, did you know that whales are mammals like us Pandas, they just live in the water? Unlike us, some whales can stay under water for up to two hours without coming up for air. :!:

Psssst Max, you're giving everything away.

True. We thought we won't do a Panfu Expert of the Week question this week, but …

WHALE EXPERT QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK

This time, not your knowledge about Panfu is what is needed, but your knowledge about Billy's fellow whales. Of course you can also use books like Max, or ask your parents and teachers. We have three questions for you. You have to answer ALL three questions and drop the answer into the comment section. Ready? Here we go!

1. Which species of whale is the largest? Little tip: They can grow to up to 30 metres in length!

2. Why does the whale expel a fountain of water?

3. Is the blue whale a cachalot or a baleen whale?

Because the questions are a bit more tricky this time around, you have a little more time, too. Drop your solution to all three questions into the comment section until Monday evening. We will pick three Pandas to win the following cool prizes: a Graduation Cap and a cute pet. No, not a whale, but a cute, orange Wooby. He's already looking forward to meeting his nice new owner.
