Home: "The whales do not live in Antarctica all year-round. They are found there in the summer, feeding on krill and other marine resources and in the autumn head north into the warmer waters of the tropics. There they give birth, the calf feeding on its mother's rich milk before migrating back to Antarctic waters.
Fourteen species of cetaceans (the name given to whales, dolphins and porpoises) are found in Antarctica. Of these, twelve are whales. There are two groups, the baleen whales and the toothed whales. Cetaceans are highly intelligent mammals. They communicate with sound which also serves as an echo location system."
