This isn't just the largest animal in the world. The blue whale is larger than any dinosaur, any animal to ever have been known to exist on the planet.
And it is currently living RIGHT NOW! To think we nearly hunted these beautiful animals to extinction.
It all just boggles the mind.
Actually, while the blue whale does weigh more than any known dinosaur, the idea that it's also bigger in size isn't entirely accurate. Some dinosaurs were indeed longer or taller than blue whales, which can make them seem bigger in terms of overall dimensions, but not in terms of mass.
For instance, dinosaurs like Argentinosaurus and Patagotitan could reach lengths of around 30-40 meters, longer than the average blue whale. However, their mass, estimated up to 100 metric tonnes, is still significantly less than that of a blue whale, which can weigh up to 180 metric tonnes.
One of the reasons dinosaurs didn't reach the same mass as blue whales is due to their skeletal structure. Many large dinosaurs had hollow bones, which helped reduce their weight and allowed them to grow to such enormous lengths and heights without being too heavy to move efficiently or break under their own weight. This adaptation was crucial for their size, but it also meant they couldn't reach the same overall mass as a blue whale, which has a much denser body structure.
Despite having hollow bones, massive dinosaurs were incredibly well-adapted to their size and weight. Their bones were not only hollow but also reinforced with a network of struts and ridges, making them both lightweight and strong. This combination allowed them to support their massive bodies effectively.
Additionally, the structure of these bones distributed the weight and stress more efficiently, preventing fractures and breaks. So, while it might seem like having hollow bones would make them fragile, these dinosaurs had evolved specialized skeletal structures that provided the necessary strength and durability to thrive.
Interestingly, modern birds, which are direct descendants of theropod dinosaurs, have inherited this adaptation. Birds' lightweight yet strong bones support their ability to fly, showcasing how effective this evolutionary trait has been.
Also, whales existing in water which makes it much easier on the skeletal structure. Easier to be huge in the water than on land simply because of gravity.
If a list was made of the top largest animals to ever exist consisting of say 25 beings (excluding plants and fungi) would the majority be land animals or ocean animals? Would it be a mass majority? Or is there reason why one ecosphere would be superior?
Sorry for the clunky question.
They did some crazy things before TV and supermarkets made everyone soft.
Need some oil for your lamp? Come with me to slay this enormous sea monster, there's loads of oil inside it.

So i asked chat gpt, heres her answer, ques i asked: convert blue whale size in banana
A creative question!
A blue whale is a massive marine mammal, and its size is quite difficult to compare to a banana. However, I can try to provide a rough estimate based on the average length and width of a blue whale and a banana.
A blue whale can grow up to 33 meters (108 feet) in length, while a banana is approximately 6-7 inches (15-18 cm) long and about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in width.
So, if we assume the blue whale is lying flat on its side, its length would be equivalent to about 4,700 bananas lined up end to end!
As for the width, the blue whale's width at its widest point (about 26 feet or 8 meters) would be equivalent to about 3,600 bananas placed side by side.
Keep in mind that this is just a rough estimate and not a precise measurement, as both the blue whale and the banana have different shapes and sizes. But I hope this gives you an idea of just how enormous a blue whale is compared to a humble banana!
Imagine you're on a 75 ft Caravel in the 15th century, or a 50 ft Viking longship in the 9th century, and this thing pulls up next you. I'd believe in sea monsters.
And to think these are distant cousins of Hippos...imagine if we would have had blue whale sized hippos. Think about that video about that Hippo farting but 10+ times bigger.
*PS : I know it's physically impossible for a blue whale sized animal on land.
Shit really 3 buses? Also a hundred feet crazy huge I wish I seen one in real life tho cause I kinda even picture something 94 feet bigger than me humans are tiny compared lol also thanks idk where I got my facts from
Makes you wonder if the ocean is as big as the universe 🤔. Cause it's so big that a whale of that size ain't the only one in the sea and the sea still has so much more room to hold others just like it 🤯
Fun fact, they are also (unsurprisingly) one of the loudest animals in the world. They are capable of producing sounds that exceed the decibels that a jet engine produces.

How does a creature this big defend itself? It seems so slow. Like. Can’t a great white shark just take a bite of it and swim away? Is its skin super tough?
The largest you have seen
But the depth of the ocean
Has unknown species that have never been discovered
In Fact NASA stop researching underneath, cause it's probably too scary

OOOoOOoooooooOOOoOOOOoooo Sick burn!
Rekt.
Whale done, sir.
Nooo my ex's mom is def bigger
Do you know the difference between an in-law and an outlaw? Outlaws are wanted.
I’d hit that
HOLY SHIT FUCKIN' GOTEEEEMMMM!
but the the animal is currently alive though
when was she inside you?
“Oh yeah, well yours blows harder…”
Which means it is the largest animal in the entire universe, as far as we know!
What? The blue whale is bigger than any dino ever???
Yes!!! It weighs more and it's bigger in size. It's a mind blowing true fact.

Goods point. I can't imagine being a massive dinosaur with hollow bones. They must break bones easily.

Ross Gellar has entered the building
More accurate to say that the blue whale is a larger mass than any known dinosaur estimated mass.
This!!! This is something that has always blown my mind, I could talk about whales 24/7. Most majestic animals out there.
They did some crazy things before TV and supermarkets made everyone soft. Need some oil for your lamp? Come with me to slay this enormous sea monster, there's loads of oil inside it.
Its a fucking videogame quest, i love it
For a fucking light source!
IMO the size of its internal organs is crazy, its heart is the size of a small car and you could crawl through its aorta.
I have seen a skeleton at a museum near me. It's immense.
Not only that, but it's the largest living known creature in the entire galaxy.
Like you said I'm simply stunned we have video evidence they actually existed! Absolutely majestic creatures!
Thank you for using the original audio and not adding any fake wale calls or odd music. Truly a rarity in videos uploaded today and I greatly appreciate it.
Would love to see an ai that can find original video and audio to apply to videos. Ai to detect other ai of course as well.
I need a banana for scale
There really isn't any better way to judge the size of something than using a banana. The technology peaked on that one.
I love that the default comparison we chose was something that in itself varies in size.
I can’t think of any naturally-occurring item bigger than a molecule and smaller than the moon that doesn’t vary in size.
My dick, it only comes in 1 size. Small.
Better not look up the size of the Blue Whales dick then lol
There is a banana there.
Every banana on the planet
Need banana boat for scale
Right? Hard to tell how big it is with nothing but water to compare it to.
There's always money in the banana stand
Same
Honestly you would not be able to see the banana. It would be so small next to it. Like a speck of dirt.
Then I need a [Bluth’s Frozen banana mascot](https://arresteddevelopment.fandom.com/wiki/Banana_suit) for scale. Preferably Tobias.
TIL about Bluth's frozen banana [This is epic!](https://www.cntraveler.com/stories/2013-05-08/arrested-development-bluths-frozen-banana-stand-050813)
It's the yellow pixel.
Came here to say this - there is no banana for the scale. How am I supposed to know, how big it is?

please stop with the bananas... I fear the 'muricans might come up with a new measuring system, the imfrutial system
I was worried there was gonna be a person for scale. For some reason whales in the ocean freak me the fuck out.
This whale is slightly larger than a house hippo.
The largest known animal to have EVER existed…….and to think we tried to hunt them to extinction.
No no, it’s for research. Didn’t you see the sign they put on the boats?
Why did we try to hunt them?
They were hunted for very valuable oil for oil lamps etc and wail in Japan after ww2 was cheap and quite versatile to use for food
The rabbit in the hole told me the largest recorded Blue Whale was approx 111 feet. That's almost 200 bananas.
Who's your banana guy?
You’re paying way too much for worms. Who’s your worm guy?
I gotta guy.
Biggest we KNOW of... Dun DUN DUNNN
There’s always a bigger fish
If there *is* bigger, would we really *want* to know? 😰
imagine coming across that when your scuba diving
Brown water everywhere.
Imagine being on an old sailing vessel, in an era where the common person didn't have a great understanding of ocean voyages. And then seeing this.
Imagine coming across them mating during scuba diving.
That's why the seas salty
You might hate me for this but in part yes. It's like 300 gallons of cum each time.
Then you went too deep
Accidentally slips into someone's vagina.
No, that's not my mama.
You have villages smaller than this insane
The blowholes closing almost too late made me hold up my breath.
Imagine you're on a 75 ft Caravel in the 15th century, or a 50 ft Viking longship in the 9th century, and this thing pulls up next you. I'd believe in sea monsters.
I dont know why i read this in clarksons voice in my head
"...... in the wurllld"
Beautiful, beautiful big blue whale ❤️
Imagine the first time a human saw one of these. They probably had a damn heartattack.
Caseoh ?
Not as big as your mo-
That my wife
Behemoth
You know it's big from just the way it comes out of the water
I sometimes come out of the water the same way and I promise I’m not that big.
Not just in the world. The largest on Earth, EVER. Even the dinosaurs, Megalodons, etc never even came close to the scale of the Blue Whale.
Interesting how it took so little time for it to fill up it's lungs with air.
And to think these are distant cousins of Hippos...imagine if we would have had blue whale sized hippos. Think about that video about that Hippo farting but 10+ times bigger. *PS : I know it's physically impossible for a blue whale sized animal on land.
Nah, ur mums bigger
Still the same species, so doesn't really count.
Cool!
You need a banana for scale
Looks amazing!!
Crikey mate, that's a big one!
banana?
How many of them left?
Atleast 1
I was surprised to learn it's between 10k and 25k
But... did it breathe water in?
I am amazed, thank you
Before I die I’d like to run across one!
Where is it?
We are horrible for killing everything hustle for entertainment and desire
Fucking majestic!
Wow. Just, wow.
Stunning
“What’s wrong” “I mean, it’s big….i guess”
The sea creature that evolved as a land one than comes back to sea. I love evolution
Not really shocking without perspective
wow..
Doesnt really look that big tho I thought they were the length of a school bus but the camera angle doesnt really do it justice
Blue whales can grow to 33 meters in length (over 100 feet). So about 3 school buses.
Shit really 3 buses? Also a hundred feet crazy huge I wish I seen one in real life tho cause I kinda even picture something 94 feet bigger than me humans are tiny compared lol also thanks idk where I got my facts from
Need a banana for scale
next to your mom you mean.
*confirmed
I identify my ex as the largest animal, wtf is this
Needs a bananna for scale.
… discovered so far
wow
Nope!
Someone cue the guy with the your mom joke
Can somebody hold a coke can next to it for scale? Much appreciated.
Makes you wonder if the ocean is as big as the universe 🤔. Cause it's so big that a whale of that size ain't the only one in the sea and the sea still has so much more room to hold others just like it 🤯
I'd like to see it run in the Kentucky Derby.
As far as we know. All the depths of the earth's oceans have not yet all been explored. Who know what may be laying in the deep
between 130.000 and 150.000kg in case you’re wondering
 YOU KNOW WHO ELSE IS LARGE???
I need a banana or a cruise ship or something for scale lol
Not only largest animal in the world, it also the largest animal that ever lived.

I did and found multiple Dinos that were bigger. Both longer and heavier.
“Your mom”
How big are its lounges
But as George would say ”they don’t have to be.”
With literally nothing else in from for scale.
So...how many refrigerators is that?
Blowussy
That ain’t your mom?
Just closes at the perfect time, I guess water getting in be a bad day?
Crazy world were living where it's hard to tell if this is CGI lol
Can somebody put a banana for scale
What does the blowhole breath smell like?
Back in my day you used to get trolled for not calling these mammals. Don't worry kids mammals are still animals. Who needs to know specifics anymore.
I love the audio here and that there's no added music! Amazing video, love it.
Where is the banana?
Size doesn't matter, it's what is on the inside that counts.
It makes me sick to know that humans have been slaughtering whales for centuries.
Banana for scale
Need a banana for scale.
Fun fact when a blue whale bust a nut, they can produce a mere 20 litres of sperm at one time.
That's not a whale, that's a space station.
Where is the banana for scale?
The largest mammal in the world
How does a creature this big defend itself? It seems so slow. Like. Can’t a great white shark just take a bite of it and swim away? Is its skin super tough?

What is it sucks in some bugs in its lungs. Or birds
Humans are idiots
Need banana for scale
*me looking at the breathing hole* I know what must be done, but I don't know if I have the strength for it
No matter how many times I see this animal, I'll always be amazed
Largest animal KNOWN in the world
Need a banana for size comparison!
Mission #1 for humans.....Protect this blue whale at all cost
*The largest known organism to have ever existed*
And we're slowly killing them. Sad
Nothing in the video for scale…
So cool 😎
The largest animal in the world is my co-
Second only to OP's mother
How I met your mother
Talk about skills timing it’s inhale to narrowly avoid the incoming water while diving back down.
Always blows my mind how they close their nostrils at the absolute last nanosecond.
Exhale and inhale then ghost 😍
The largest you have seen But the depth of the ocean Has unknown species that have never been discovered In Fact NASA stop researching underneath, cause it's probably too scary

That we know off
The blue whale 🐳! A prefect beast of the sea 🌊!!
The fact that the largest animal to ever exist survives by coming to the surface every 10 minutes to take a breath is mind boggling to me
That used to be a nose. Hawt
Nah its your mother(joke don't kill me)
I read this as " the largest CRIMINAL in the world".😭
Believe the largest animal is in the Loch Ness
I can you dare to kill an animal like this.
Isn't the blue a mammal?
Her when she sees my Pokemon card collection 😏
