Gulp

A Blue Whale was spotted off the coast of Vancouver Island this morning. The Blue Whale is the largest animal to ever grace this planet. The largest dinosaur was the Saurapod which weighed up to 85 tons. Some male Blue Whales weigh as much as 200 tons. A Blue Whales heart is 6 feet wide and weighs 400 lbs. When a Blue Whale gives birth the calfs are approx 25 feet long. Most Blue Whale deaths are a direct result from collisions with marine vessels.

I don't think it's safe to go back into the water!

It's a shame to think about it but even large marine mammals will be gone in 50 years.

Would have loved to see one, from a good distance :-)

Have a great day!

I would love to see a Blue Whale. Once a whale swam under our sailboat and the depth sounder recorded we were in 20 ft. of water. When the whale passed, we were in 240 ft.

If it would've been orange instead of blue I would've mistaken the poor creature for donald tRump. Also the Blue Whale's heart is six feet long and we know tRump has no heart so......
