Do whales have a nose?

They have nostrils called blowholes. Over millions of years of evoloution whales and dolphins nostrils moved to the top of their head. This allows them to breath by surfacing instead of them sticking their whole head out of the water. The first thing a newborn dolphin must do is to go to the surface to breathe.
