                          Blue whale is the largest animal in the world. Let’s read and

                          find out more about blue whale.





            Blue whales, like other whales, live in the ocean. They are not fish. They

            are mammals. There is no animal on Earth as big as the blue whale.

            The biggest blue whale was a female that weighed around 1,71,000
            kilograms.

            It was 27 metres long. Do you know how long that is? Well, lay about

            five of your mother’s sarees down, end to end, and then add a bit more,

            and you will see how long 27 metres really is.
