Description
Like all whales, the blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is actually a sea mammal with a fish-like body. This is the largest animal known to have ever existed on Earth, reaching a length of almost 30 m. It is an endangered species, with only 10,000–25,000 individuals living in oceans worldwide today – just 3-11% of the numbers estimated to have been living at the beginning of the 20th century.
