"La balena è un animale."

Translation: The whale is an animal.

At first I thought he said "L'ape è un animale". Then I listened to it in slow motion and found out it was actually "La balena è un animale"...

...which is one "whale" of a difference.

I think you meant to reply to me, but you missed.

If it's because "animale" is masculine, then you need to remember that only adjectives change to agree with their nouns. Nouns never change to agree with other nouns.
