The Biggest Animal To Have Ever Existed
We have already talked about animals that are the biggest among their species, but which animal is the biggest animal in existence? It is none other than a Blue Whale that has reached a length of 98 feet and weighed 190 tons. There was a time when the seas were abundant with these majestic creatures. Sadly, whaling has led to a dwindling population. Nowadays, it is believed that are only 10,000 to 25,000 of them in the world. Their diet primarily consists of krill – they actually eat as much as 40 million of these in a single day! On average, the heart of a blue whale weighs 400 pounds, the largest of any animal.
