  1. the amazing blue whale is the answer


  2. The largest "animal" that's ever lived on our planet is still alive today, and that's the Blue Whale, which IS a mammal.  Magnificent creatures, and beautiful in their form and movements.  Highly intelligent.  And, they feed on some of the smallest creatures in the ocean; Plankton and Krill.

    Killing whales is a "sin" against nature.

  3. The Blue Whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is a marine mammal belonging to the suborder of baleen whales (called Mysticeti). At up to 33 metres (110 ft) in length and 181 metric tonnes (200 short tons) or more in weight, it is believed to be the largest animal ever to have existed.

    Long and slender, the Blue Whale's body can be various shades of bluish-grey dorsally and somewhat lighter underneath. There are at least three distinct subspecies: B. m. musculus of the north Atlantic and north Pacific, B. m. intermedia, of the Southern Ocean and B. m. brevicauda (also known as the Pygmy Blue Whale) found in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific Ocean. B. m. indica, found in the Indian Ocean, may be another subspecies. As with other baleen whales, its diet consists mainly of small crustaceans known as krill, as well as small fish and sometimes squid.

    Blue Whales were abundant in nearly all oceans until the beginning of the twentieth century. For over 40 years they were hunted almost to extinction by whalers until protected by the international community in 1966. A 2002 report estimated there were 5,000 to 12,000 Blue Whales worldwide located in at least five groups. More recent research into the Pygmy subspecies suggests this may be an underestimate. Before whaling the largest population was in the Antarctic, numbering approximately 239,000 (range 202,000 to 311,000).There remain only much smaller (around 2,000) concentrations in each of the North-East Pacific, Antarctic, and Indian Ocean groups. There are two more groups in the North Atlantic and at least two in the Southern Hemisphere.

  4. The blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is not only the largest mammal, but probably the largest animal of any kind to have ever lived. They're up to 110 feet long and can weigh over 200 tons.

  5. The blue whale, a.k.a. Sibald's rorqual and sulphur bottom whale, is the largest mammal that ever lived and the largest known animal of any type. The largest living land animal is the African elephant. The largest land mammal in history was the Balucitherium or Indricotherium that lived 40 million years ago.

  6. Blue whale is not only the biggest mammal but also the biggest animal to exist.
