Blue Whale - the largest animal ever to have existed
At up to 32.9 metres (108 feet) in length and 172 metric tonnes (190 short tons) or more in weight, it is the largest animal ever to have existed.

I'm from Norway. We Scandinavian eat more whales than the Japanese. It's funny all the westerners only bash Japan when Europe hunt whales the most in the past 4 years. We hunt small cetaceans that are called dolphins too. Danish hunt white sided dolphins, Russian hunt Beluga dolphins for food. You guys are just too ignorant about European/North American whaling. Whale meat is amazing. Get over it.
That's a great vid with a great meaning. Awake!
Amphicoelias fragillimus was about 58m long but the blue whale is about 24m long...
Our planet is such a marvel, and yet we know so little about it.
My absolute favourite. This scene perfectly summarises the majesty of our oceans, and the true impact that we have upon them. Less than 3% left of the largest organism ever to have existed on this planet, essentially starving from what is supposedly the most abundant food source on earth. People just don't understand the significance of that!
If sir David Attenborough and Morgan Freeman teamed up and had a voice orgy, my ears would cum a thousand times.

Most humans forget how utterly dependent they are on the Earths natural cycles. The water cycle, the tiny microbes that make the soil fertile, the plants and trees make our oxygen, even maggots do a vital job. We didn't make these systems, we don't own or control them. If any of it breaks, we're dead.
Sir David Attenborough. I've grown up watching his shows. He makes us see how amazing this world is. Brilliant.
really awesome...details
Isn't the Megalodon the worlds largest that ever existed?
Does it really lie in our hands, and who are 'we'??? This capitalist presenter tries to emotionally sedate the common man into believing that the we are to blame for the destruction of the planet, while us the common people are not to blame. What is really to blame is the capitalist ideology and its wealthy elite that are destroying us and the planet for profit.
Simply amazing! :) I love whales!
Blue whales are so beautiful, graceful and adorable, too! Love the sparkling water. One of the best videos on Youtube!

I just read many (about 50) of the comments below. Only about 3 or 4 seemed to have any intelligent content. Is there any hope?
