suborder of baleen whales. With a length of up to
 32.9 meters long and weighs up to 172 tons or
more, is the largest animal that has ever existed

  Blue whales live in the Indian Ocean and the
South Pacific and also in the northern Atlantic and
                 Pacific Oceans

  Body long and slender blue whale can have a
different color of blue shades of gray on the back
          and a little lighter on the ventral
size




Having a length of up to 32.9 meters long and
weighs up to 172 tons or more, is the largest
        animal that has ever existed.
food




  Blue whales feed almost exclusively on krill,
    though they also take small numbers of
copepods. The species of zooplankton eaten by
  blue whales varies from ocean on the other.
Interesting information



Because of its huge size, power and speed, adult
 blue whales have virtually no natural predators.
However, there is a documented case in National
 Geographic of a blue whale attacked by orcas.
 Although whales were not able to kill the animal
during the attack, the blue whale received serious
wounds and probably died shortly after the attack
