Team WorldWonderings :- The largest of these dinosaurs weighed as much as 12 elephants and hence, these dinosaurs, which ruled the planet Earth for a long time, were considered to be the largest creatures, but Today this is not true because on our planet Earth there exists an animal which leaves even the huge dinosaurs far behind in size and completes its journey by diving into the depths of the sea and the name of that animal is Blue Whale.

Size and weight of the Blue whale

Blue Whale, which makes the Earth Oceans its home, is the largest animal on Earth and it is our good fortune that we can see it diving.It is not less because the weight of a blue whale is as much as 30 elephants and you know that at present the largest animal living on land is the elephant and its weight is about 6 tons, in such a situation the weight of one blue whale is It would be as much as 30 elephants i.e. about 180 tonnes, this is very much, not only this, some Blue Whales can even weigh up to 220 tonnes, so now I understand how Blue Whales got such a big title.

Habitat and distribution of the Blue whale

The five subspecies, Antarctic Blue Whales are the largest, hence they are called the largest animal on Earth, but would the Blue Whale roaming from here to there in the oceans know that it is the largest creature on this planet So, in this way you must have understood that even though the structure of blue whale looks like a fish, in reality there is a lot of difference between fish and blue whale.

They are quite dark and they can often be seen together, but as much as the blue whale is with its young, it is not seen with other female blue whales or blue whale groups because they like to spend most of the time alone and then This huge body creature does not have that much fear of any big danger due to which it wants to protect itself by living in a herd, it can travel anywhere in the entire ocean, it can spend its days comfortably while living alone.

Conservation status and threats

They can also catch speed, their sense of smell and taste is quite limited, but the mouth of a blue whale is so big that 100 people can comfortably fit in it, in such a situation it would be natural for you to think that this largest creature belongs to the big animals only.

You are surprised to hear that they are very small, but we are yet to know the way of eating of the blue whale, so friends, it is very unique, to understand it, it is important to know that the blue whale is a baleen whale, which is also called a toothless whale.

Blue whale Interaction with humans

To fill so much water in the mouth, the groups found on the neck of the blue whale expand and contract, only then this is possible, but how can eating such a small creature fill the stomach of the world’s largest creature?

Now in such a situation, it would be better to understand that the nature of Bluebell is not aggressive but it should not be forced to be aggressive and like other animals, it should be watched from a distance, who knows at what time what it will do?

It was known that Bluebell cannot eat a human being because it does not have teeth and to swallow a human being, its mouth may be big but its throat is very small, so humans must have understood these things and created this huge creature.
