Описание: Fascinating Blue Whale Facts
1. They Can Weigh as Much as 30 Elephants
The average weight for these gentle giants is 200,000 to 300,000 pounds (90,000 to 136,000 kilograms), or about 100 to 150 tons. Some can weigh as much as 441,000 pounds (200,000 kilograms) or 220 tons.

2. They’re Unusually Loud
Blue whales, in fact, are the loudest animals on the planet. A jet engine registers at 140 decibels; the call of a blue whale reaches 180. Their language of pulses, groans, and moans can be heard by others up to 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) away.

3. They Eat a Lot of Krill
Blue whales feast on krill; their stomachs can hold 2,200 pounds (1,000 kilograms) of the tiny crustaceans at a time. They require almost 9,000 pounds (4,000 kilograms) of the little guys a day and around 40 million krill daily during the summer feeding season.

4. Blue Whales Can Grow More Than 100 Feet Long
They are gigantic, generally ranging in length from 80 to 100 feet (24 to 30 meters). The longest, accurately measured blue whale is a female who was measured at 97 feet (23.5 meters)—but there are reports of blue whales that reached 108 feet (33 meters) in length

5. They're Pretty Fast
Blue whales travel a lot, spending summers feeding in polar regions and making the long trip to the equator as winter comes along. While they have a cruising speed of 5 mph (8 kph), they can accelerate up to 20 mph (32 kph) when needed.
