3rd reflective Journal

Dholes inhabit forested areas in South East Asia. They can be found in India (where the largest population of Dholes is found), Bangladesh, Sumatra, Java, Myanmar, Tibet and China.

I have explained all the information about Dhole, and now i am going to do the information about Sperm whale.

Sperm whales are easily recognized by their massive heads and prominent rounded foreheads. They have the largest brain of any creature known to have lived on Earth. Their heads also hold large quantities of a substance called spermaceti.

Whalers once believed that the oily fluid was sperm, but scientists still do not understand the function of spermaceti. One common theory is that the fluid—which hardens to wax when cold—helps the whale alter its buoyancy so it can dive deep and rise again.
