Believe it or not, you can view the world’s largest heart at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto! The 440lb organ is on display next to its enormous skeleton for the exhibit Out of the Depths: The Blue Whale Story.

The massive heart was found in 2014 when the blue whale carcass washed up on the shores of Trout River in Newfoundland. This is a surprising find because when a blue whale dies, their 300,000-pound frame sinks. Their corpses are so large and rich, that they typically act as their own underwater ecosystem for years after their death. Unfortunately, this whale was trapped in ice with eight other whales. Locals were worried it would explode because it was inflated with gas and the decomposition process wouldn’t be simple for something as massive as the blue whale. Thankfully the explosion was avoided since the whale had extremely thick skin.
