Meet the largest animal that ever lived—the blue whale. What’s so great about being big? You can move faster and farther, you can avoid predators, and you can have a longer lifespan. In Part One of our four-part Giants of the Sea series, you’ll explore some of the fascinating mysteries that blue whales hold for researchers.

Body size is one of the most important factors in determining how an organism functions and interacts with its environment. Scientists are studying the blue whale to understand how it evolved to such a large size and what lessons it might hold for protecting the species in the future.

Keep in mind that in the next 30 years without severe restrictions to shipping, these beautiful creatures will be extinct.
More Whales die today from ship strikes than when Whaling was banned 40 years ago.
Let that sink in.

I have had the privilege of seeing several blue whales in Monterey Bay, CA. You really do have to see them with your own eyes to truly appreciate their sheer size! This was a fantastic video. Thank you, AMNH, and I look forward to seeing more! 🙂

“Giant rodents”, but focuses on some Ground Sloths. Totally unrelated animals 😂

The blue whale is the largest whale species in the world and its longer and heavier than the humpback whale, its closest relatives.

Wow, they didn’t actually answer the question of, how did the Blue Whale got so big. The answer given, seems to be, they got big because they are long.
