Size is Everything

A fascinating thing about the largest creature on Earth, the Blue Whale, is that its heart is the size of a Volkswagen Beetle. Weighing over 200 tons (or approximately 33 elephants), you would not want to sail your ship and fish beside this magnificent creature. It’s not known to eat humans, but still.

They are not only the biggest creature on earth, but they also have the biggest babies. They rank among the largest full-grown animals at birth. With a weight of about 8,800 pounds and a length of around 26 feet at birth, these creatures are really huge to a certain degree. Not to mention that they have the ability to gain 200 pounds in just a day. Wow! Their growth rate is also considered one of the fastest in the animal world.
