OCEAN ANIMALS
The Blue Whale is the largest animal on the planet, and greater than ever lived on land or water. It can grow to 31 meters in length and weigh about 84 tons, although they have copies of 150 registered tons and over 32 meters length. The average measurements are 23.4 meters and 22.6 females meters males.
They are so called because of its blue-gray skin, it has spots pale more pronounced in the ventral area. One of its features is that it has a small dorsal fin, very close to the fin flow, evidenced by plunging the animal.
The head is slightly less than one third the size. Comes to have 395 sheets corneas frayed on both sides of the mouth of a maximum length of 120 cm. and just over half a meter wide, this characteristic is common to all cetaceans of this suborder. The small pectoral fins are about one-eighth of total body. It has rows of five inches deep in the ventral area (about 88) separated by a strip of about six inches wide.
