The greatest【C8】______of whales is their diving ability. The sperm whale dives to the bottom for his 【C9】______food, the octopus(章鱼).

And it is believed that a special kind of oil in his head is some sort of a compensating mechanism that 【C15】______adjusts the internal pressure of his body. But since you can’t bring a live whale into the laboratory for study, no one knows just how these things work.
