Whales primarily glide in water rather than float, as they are large, buoyant animals that use their powerful tails to propel themselves through the ocean. Their bodies are streamlined, allowing them to move efficiently through the water. While they can rest at the surface and appear to float, they typically engage in gliding movements to travel and hunt.
