The largest mammal on Earth is the blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus), reaching up to 30 meters (98 feet) in length and weighing up to 200 tons. Found in all oceans, it feeds on tiny krill, consuming1 4-6 tons daily. Its heart alone weighs 600 kg (1,300 lbs), and its calls are among the loudest of any animal. Once heavily hunted, blue whales are now endangered, with conservation efforts in place to protect them.
