There are various large animals in the world. However, one of them stands out.
In the journal Nature, which describes a recently discovered species of giant prehistoric whale.
What animal is considered the largest in the world
Today, the largest female animal in the world is the blue whale. This marine mammal belongs to the minke whale family, for which it received its second name.
The body length of the animal can reach about 33 meters and a mass of 150 tons or even more.
Why are whales unique
Whales can consume up to 8 million calories per day. Whales do not have ears, they hear with the help of the lower jaw. Whales have poor eyesight, a complete lack of smell and sense of taste. At great depths, oily tears flow from the eyes of whales, protecting the eyes from salt and allowing them to see better.
Whales find a school of fish at a depth; create a barrier of air bubbles around it. Then they rise to the surface of the water in a spiral while continuing to release air. In this way, they narrow the air funnel, knocking down a school of fish to the size of a whale's mouth. After that, the whale dives under the joint and swallows everyone at once.
