The blue whale is not only the biggest whale living today, the blue whale is the biggest creature ever to have lived on Earth. They are mind-bogglingly gigantic, much larger than any of the dinosaurs Blue whales and the other ocean giants live their whole lives in seawater.

Blue whales commonly reach the colossal length of 29m, that's roughly as long as three London red double-decker buses parked end to end. Blue whales in the Southern Hemisphere are generally larger than those in the Northern Hemisphere and female blues are larger than males.

The longest blue whale on record is a female measured at a South Georgia whaling station in the South Atlantic (1909), Her length was 33.58m. The heaviest blue whale was also a female hunted in the Southern Ocean, Antarctica, on 20 March 1947. She tipped the scales at 190 tones which is equivalent to about 30 elephants or 2500 people.

Blue whales are now extremely rare due to uncontrolled commercial whaling Some populations could be endangered to the point of extinction.

Elephants are the largest land animals on Earth, and they're one of the most unique looking animals, too. With their characteristic long noses, or trunks, large, floppy ears, and wide, thick legs, there is no other animal with a similar physique.

Most experts recognize two species of elephant the Asian elephant (Elephans maximus) and the African elephant (Loxodonta africana), who live on separate continents and have many unique features. There are several subspecies that belong to one or the other of these two main species, though experts argue over how many subspecies there are and whether or not they constitute separate species.

African elephants live in sub-Saharan Africa, the rainforests of Central and West Africa and the Sahel desert in Mali, according to National Geographic Asian elephants live in Nepal, India and Southeast Asia in scrub forests and rainforests.
