Blue Whale
Balaenoptera musculus or also known as the Blue Whale is the Earth’s largest animal and considered endangered. The Blue Whale can eat about 4-8 tons of krill every day. The Blue Whale weighed about 200 tons and can grow up to 100 feet long. Its tongue is as heavy as an elephant and its heart sized about as big as a car. A Blue Whale can live about 80 to 90 human years.
When Blue Whale exhales, it can sprays water from its hole up to 9 meters on the air. Blue Whale eats by inhaling as much sea water as its mouth can take, and its tongue will push the sea water out of its mouth, leaving thousands of krill (small shrimplike creatures) behind. Blue Whales often found swimming in small group, but sometimes they also wander around the ocean alone. In the winter, blue whales tend to go to the warm equator oceans, while in the summer they will go to the cold polar oceans. Blue whales have cruising speed at about 5 miles per hour, and 20 miles per hour acceleration. Their sound is one amongst the loudest in the ocean, and a blue whale can hear another blue whale’s sound from as far as 1000 miles away. Blue whales will have their pregnancy for about a year, and their babies will weighed around 3 tons during its first days of birth. There are around 10.000-25.000 blue whales left in the ocean since they declared endangered and protected by the International Whaling Commission in 1966.
