Q:There are three main groups of oils-animal, vegetable and mineral. Great quantities of animal oil come from whales, creatures of the sea, which are the largest of the animals remaining in the world.

It produces a great quantity of oil which can be made into food for human consumption. A few other creatures yield oil, but none so much as the whale.
