The Blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is a marine mammal belonging to the suborder of baleen whales (called Mysticeti).
Blue Whales can reach up to 33 metres (108 ft) in length and 180 metric tons (200 short tons)[4] or more in weight.
We can say that blue whale is the largest animal existing or known to be existed in the world Blue whales
were abundant in nearly all the oceans until the beginning of the twentieth century.
For over 40 years, they were hunted almost to extinction by whalers until protected by the international community in 1966.
A 2002 report estimated there were 5,000 to 12,000 blue whales worldwide located in at least five groups SIZE Blue whales
are difficult to weigh because of their size. Most blue whales killed by whalers were not weighed whole, but cut up into
manageable pieces first. This caused an underestimate of the total weight of the whale, due to the loss of blood and other fluids.
Nevertheless, measurements between 150–170 metric tons (170–190 short tons) were recorded of animals up to 27 metres (89 ft) in
length. The weight of a 30 metres (98 ft) individual is believed by the American National Marine Mammal Laboratory (NMML) to be
in excess of 180 metric tons (200 short tons). The largest blue whale accurately weighed by NMML scientists to
date was a female that weighed 177 metric tons (195 short tons)
