Largest. Animal. Ever.



The largest known animal in our Earth's history is the size of a basketball court and weighs as much a 8 DC-9 airplanes.

This article attempts to put some astonishing facts about this creature into perspective.

The Blue Whale’s tongue weighs around 2.7 metric tons (5,952 pounds) about the size of an average Asian Elephant.

Its mouth is large enough to hold up to 90 metric tons (198,400 pounds) of food and water which is equivalent to 420,560 Big Macs

Its heart weighs 600 kg (1,300 lb) and is the largest known in any animal.
