Whales are not fish because:

1. They do not have gills, instead they breath air, so they are mammals

2. Whales have to refill their supply of air once in a while and empty water through their blowholes while fish can stay in the water the entire time

3. When whales give birth, the baby comes out "directly" rather than from an egg, as fish give birth
