The most magnificent animal on the planet, The Blue Whale! The grand, majestic wanderer of our oceans. In this video there are no annoying texts, no boring commentary about how big, how heavy or how long. Just #Blue Whales. Swimming, diving, fluking, Mothers with calves, even a rarely seen breach! We mostly know about their record breaking statistics regarding their size, but listed here FYI is some lesser known facts about this incredible mammal: lThe fluke, or tail, of a blue whale can be up to 25 feet (7.6 meters) wide, roughly the same width as a small aircraft's wingspan. lThe oldest known blue whale lived to be 110 years old. lBlue whales have a gestation period of 10 to 12 months, one of the longest in the animal kingdom. lBlue whale calves drink approximately 100 gallons (379 litres) of their mother's fatty milk every day, gaining about 200 pounds (91 kilograms) daily during the first year of life. lBlue whales can dive for up to 60 minutes and reach depths of 1,640 feet (500 meters), though they usually dive a few hundred feet for about ten minutes when feeding. lDespite their enormous size and energy needs, blue whales fast for up to half the year during migration and breeding, living off their fat reserves. lBlue whales are listed as an endangered species, primarily due to whaling activities in the 20th century, which drastically reduced their numbers. lBlue whale calves are the largest babies on Earth, easily surpassing the size of the largest land mammals. They are about 23 feet (7 meters) long at birth and can weigh up to 3 tons (2.7 metric tons). lThe low-frequency sounds that blue whales make are in the infra-sound range, which means they're often below the threshold of human hearing. lDifferent groups of blue whales in different regions have been found to communicate with distinctive dialects. lThey've been observed to swim in perfect synchrony when traveling in groups, especially mother-calf pairs. lDespite extensive research, the calving grounds of most blue whale populations remain unknown. lRecent studies have found that blue whale songs have been gradually deepening in frequency over the past few decades. The reason behind this change is still not understood. lIt was only recently discovered that blue whales sleep in a vertical position, essentially standing on their tails, with their heads bobbing above the surface. lIt's scientific name is Balaenoptera musculus. lThere are at least three subspecies of blue whale. lBlue whales have are known to be emotive mammals. lThere is estimated that only 10,000-25,000 blue whales now exist to this day. #Ocean
