Blue WhaleThe largest animal alive is the blue whale. Fully grown, these great creatures reach length of
over 30 meters and weigh as much as twenty four large elephants, or more than 1,500 men.
The heart of a blue whale is more than a meter in diameter.
The blue whale is not a fish, even though it depends its entire life in the sea. Whales are
mammals, just like us. A mother whale gives birth to a live baby whale, not an egg. She feeds her
baby with her own milk. While fish are clod-blooded, whales are warm-blooded, and the have lungs
and breathe air, like us.
For all its size, a blue whale feeds mainly on tiny shrimps. It is harmless to man. Unfortunately
for the blue whales, men are not harmless to them. So many blue whales are hunted and killed that
very few of these magnificent animals are now left alive.
