Whales started out as land living mammals - some still have remains of hind legs in their bodies - which eventually somehow turned into sea-living mammals.

And while many parts of their bodies changed to fit a swimming lifestyle, they still breathe air, with lungs.

If whales and dolphins did not come up to the surface to breathe, they would drown and there would not be any dolphins or whales!!
