Well, whales have special physical attributes that help them keep afloat. for example, it has a special liver filled with oil that helps it to swim. it also uses movement and its fins to keep from sinking. we weigh a tad more than a brick and we still float because we have special adaptations that stop us from sinking - we can swim! can a brick swim? does a brick have these special physical attributes? no! we are alive - bricks aren't.
