Which is the largest species on planet?
The Blue Whale is not only the largest animal species
in the world but it is also thought that it could be the biggest creature that
has ever existed with some individuals growing to more than 100ft long. Since the
Blue Whale is the largest animal on the planet meaning that numerous organs are
much, much bigger than those found in any other animal. In just one breath from
a fully grown adult Blue Whale, will produce enough air to fill nearly 2,000
balloons! Also, the heart of the Blue Whale is so big that it is around the
same size as a small car, with their main arteries being big enough for a human
to swim through comfortably! Being mammals, Blue Whales must come to the
surface to breathe in air but also have to expel it and do so by blowing all of
the warm, humid air and sea-water out of their lungs through their two blow-holes
and into the air. Blue Whales do this with such force that this column can
shoot as high as nine meters into the sky. In the summer months, Blue Whales
are found in the cold waters of the Artic and the Antarctic where they feed on the abundant amount food,
before moving towards warmer, less-rich waters for the winter when they breed.The
noises Blue Whales make are incredibly loud and having been recorded at volumes
greater than 180 decibels, they are known produce the loudest sound of any
creature on the planet. The Blue Whale
is a carnivorous animal
that despite the fact that it doesn't have proper teeth, survives on a diet
that is mainly comprised of small fish.
