How do whales make songs underwater?

👶 Short Answer (For Little Kids)

Whales sing by making sounds with their voices and special muscles in their bodies.

🧠 Detailed Explanation (For Older Kids)

Whales use their blowholes, which are like their noses, to send out different sounds. They can make deep, low sounds or high, squeaky sounds by changing the tightness of their vocal cords. These songs can travel for miles underwater! Whales use these songs to communicate with each other, especially during mating season or when they're traveling in groups.
