THE BLUE WHALE

We have our new Animal of the week to help!

THE BLUE WALE

Facts:  Blue Whales are the BIGGEST mammal in the world! Blue whale can eat some 4 to 8 tons (3.6 to 7.3 metric tons) of krill per day. Blue whales can grow up to 100 feet (30 m). They can weigh up to 200 tons.
About 100 people can fit in a blue whale's mouth. A blue whale heart is the size of a Mini Cooper and can weigh close to 2,000 pounds. Blue whales can produce sounds louder than a jet engine  and can communicate with other whales up to 1,000 miles away. The spray from a blue whale's blowhole is almost as tall as a three-story building (30 feet or 9 m). A toddler can fit into its blowhole.
