The first time I was asked this years ago it took me a while to realize the answer they were looking for was "to breathe". Many people don't realize whales are mammals!<br /><br />It's really unfortunate when people can't even recognize the icons of their own region, like the bluebell. I was going to say maybe we have our schools to blame for a lot of this, but it really must be society as a whole since this knowledge is readily available outside of the classroom as well!Monikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10442975942250078450noreply@blogger.com
