Blue Whales
The Largest Mammal
The Blue Whale is the largest animal on the planet,
weighing as much as
200 tons (approximately
33 elephants). The blue whale has a heart the size of a Volkswagen Beetle. Its
stomach can hold one ton of krill and it needs to eat about four tons of
krill each day. They are the loudest animals on Earth and are even
louder than a jet engine. Their calls reach
188 decibels, while a jet reaches
140 decibels. Their low frequency whistle
can be heard for hundreds of miles and is probably used to attract other
blue whales.
