The blue whale is the biggest creature to have ever lived, being just about as large as a Boeing 737 and considerably bigger than the greatest dinosaurs. The biggest recorded length for a blue whale is 33.5 meters, most differ somewhere around 24 and 27 meters. The heart of this massive whale is really around the span of a Volkswagen Beetle. Like different rorquals, the blue whale has a long, and streamlined body, with the head making up short of one-fourth of its aggregate body length. The upper part of the head is exceptionally wide and level and practically U-formed, with a solitary edge that broadens forward of the blowhole to the tip of the nose. The body is smooth and generally free of parasites, in spite of the fact that a couple of barnacles may join to the edge of the tail fluke, the tips of the flippers and to the little, triangular dorsal balance. There is a column of 300 to 400 dark baleen plates on every side of the mouth, and around 90 throat grooves that reach out to the navel, which permits the throat to grow gigantically.
When I read this post it shocked me. You would think that a dinosaur would be bigger then the blue whale.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading this post I now want to go look up the measurements of dinosaurs to see if the whales are truly bigger than them. It was an interesting read because I got to find out something new.
