blue whale


Balaenoptera musculus better known as the blue whale, is the largest animal known to man kind yet! It feeds on krill a small crustacean. Now you must be wondering how such a big animal could live on such a tiny animal, well the whale consumes so much of the krill per day, that they can live entirely on it. Before it was protected in 1966, the number of whales decreased rapidly. we should respect these wonderful forms of life, and realize how lucky we are to be able to live in a world with them as well as all forms of life.
