What organism is the whale closely related?
Whales are actually very close to birds. You see, birds and whales both have structures called homologous structures (H). H-structures are mainly bone structures in an animal that are very similar to other creatures. If you look at the bones and their structure in the whales fins and flippers you will see that they are nearly identical to that of a birds wing.
