The Most Mysterious Creature in the Ocean | 5 Things We Still Don't Understand About Blue Whales...

The blue whale, it's the biggest animal on Earth, rivalling massive prehistoric dinosaurs in both size and weight and is the largest creature to evolve in the 4 billion or so years of life on Earth... These magnificent animals can weigh up to 200 tons, which is the equivalent of around 33 elephants, and reach up to 98ft in length....Although despite their enormous body mass, they rely heavily on tiny crustaceans called krill to feed them, and they consume up to six tons of them each day. However, since the blue whale was discovered in the 1600s, there is still so much we don't know about these elusive monsters of the sea. In today's video we’ll look at 5 things we still don't understand about blue whales

The Blue Whale, the largest animal ever known to exist. I didn't even know that to be true until a few years ago, always having thought that there had to be an aquatic dinosaur type creature that was larger. Its actually pretty neat when you think about it, that we get to be alive at the same time to witness the biggest animal to ever exist...

Finding out the lonely whale may not be so lonely is the best news I’ve heard in a long time.

I could listen to him explain why 2+2=4 and be just as hypnotized by his voice. This was a great video and now, even more than before, I am completely captivated by these miraculous creatures.

I wonder if there is another creature documenting, videoing and following humans. Making their own YouTube videos about our behaviour. They would definitely see a lot of unanswerable and wtf are they doing moments.

“Things we still don’t understand about blue whales” I bet that’s just the way they like it.

[shadowknows]

Its so sad what we've done as humans - we've depleted the oceans of what's important.
It really hurts my heart.

Lucky that krills reproduce extremely fast to feed these giants of the world😁

To think that such beautiful and raw creatures exist in our world is just amazing. Such large animals that people would assume its fantasy. Just like in sci-fi movies. Even more eerily is when they just go deeper into the water and they just sorta disappear from our perspective. To think that such a large and majestic animal could disappear so easily into the sea

My favorite animals on earth how mesmerizing are these creatures

[TornadoBryan]

The ocean is terrifying! Thanks for the video!

[kartikkantheti]

[TheRockyLeonFan]

Just a quick comment to help out the algorythm and also wanted to mention that you are a legend

[asphalt-cowboy]

When you finally realize how absolutely massive these creatures are its kind of mind blowing... I want to get on a boat and go see them one day.

[charlesmcsweeney]

Whales: Are enormous anomalies the size of mountains
Also whales: ~out of tune tuba sound~
