The blue whale is bigger than 25 elephants.
It is almost twice the size in weight of most large dinosuars, including the Argentinosaurus and Apatosaurus (once mistakenly know as the Brontosaurus).
It consumes about 40 million individual euphausiids daily, amounting to a total weight of 3,600 kg.
The blue whale’s tongue alone weights around 2.7 tonnes.
A young blue whale grows at a rate of 90 kg per day.
