Whales are not fish; they are the biggest sea animals on our planet.
They can be found in all the oceans.

They live about 30 to 50 years and some of them even more than that.

The can dive as deep as 1 kilometer, not more.
They can swim under water from 10 up to 40 minutes, and then they must come to the surface of the water to breathe.
Whales can develop speed up to 20 and even 40 km/h. (kilometers per hour)
Some kinds of whales have teeth and one tooth weighs 1 kilogramme.
Whales feed on marine plankton, mollusks, fish, and krill. Some kinds eat sea animals: seals, penguins, etc.
People kill whales for their fat and whalebone. That's all for now.

On Artestrest there are plants and animals, that are very similar to what we have on Earth. But since the first type of animal died out, each and every conscious being was saving animals and nature. Thats why most races don't eat meat. They find all substances, that their organisms need in plants and so.
The population of Artestrest is alike humans, but their organisms changed depending on the environment. Those, who live in water of cource have gills and fish tales. Those, who live in forests and watch the nature have light green skin color.
This nation is unique.
