  The Blue Whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is the largest animal ever known to have lived on Earth, reaching up to 30 meters (98 feet) in length and weighing over 190 metric tons. These marine giants are found in oceans worldwide, from the Southern Ocean near Antarctica to the coasts of Chile, the United States, and Iceland. Blue whales are filter feeders, consuming up to 4 tons of krill per day during feeding season. Known for their deep, resonant vocalizations, they communicate across hundreds of kilometers. Despite their size, they are gentle and vulnerable creatures, currently listed as endangered due to historic whaling.
