Size

"Being big makes us feel grand!"

The largest living animal is the blue whale. Adult blue whales weigh 130 tons or more and are the size of two and a half school buses. An adult blue whale's tongue is about the weight of an elephant and its fins have the same bones as the human arm. The female fins and body are larger than the male's. The female blue whale makes larger jumps than the male when alarmed.
