Most amazing animal on our planet

The biggest animal that ever lived on this planet, his lenght can reach more than 30m and could weight more than 200 fucking tons (about 40 elephants). A Blue Whale's tongue weighs around 3 tons, when fully expanded, its mouth is large enough to hold up to 100 tons of food and water. Despite the size of its mouth, the dimensions of its throat are such that a Blue Whale cannot swallow an object wider than a beach ball. Its heart weighs 600 kg. During the first seven months of its life, a Blue Whale calf drinks approximately 400 litres of milk every day.

Blue Whale hunting was banned in the 1960s by the International Whaling Commission, by the 1970's more than 500,000 has been killed. Their population had been reduced to 0.15% of their initial numbers.
The total world population was estimated to be between 5,000 and 12,000 in 2002. The Blue Whale remains listed as "endangered" on the IUCN Red List of threatened species as it has been since the list's inception. Unfortunatly, the blue whale is still being hunted illegaly, men are evil.

Must watch this video, and must search for many others:

By far, the most exciting animal for me to read about and watch, and believe me, I'm a sucker for documentaries - I've seen tons of them.

Cube told me once how many gallons of semen a blue whale ejaculates - you don't want to know.

I have the documentary on blu-ray by the way - fuckin stunning to watch! BBC's most amazing documentary packed into a 5-disk box set. I very much recommend for everybody to buy it. The series is called Planet Earth

with all my respect, vegeterian people are stupid. All of human have to eat meat, but the difference is nobody gives a shit if a cow dies (apart from religion) because there are millions in the world. But killing one of 10,000 whales is a crime
