Thanks a lot for this another very instructive video !! Just one question, I noticed that You didn’t mention that they are the largest animal to have ever existed on earth, is it an omission or because you don’t agree with this ? I think it is one of the coolest thing I have heard about the blue whale... but maybe this info is not true 🤔.
Thanks again for your videos, I always learn something new from them.

[@DeepMarineScenes]

Great question! I omitted that statement because some of the sources I read didn't list that fact as a definitive statement, since there's always the possibility that evidence of a larger organism will be discovered someday. I try to only include facts that all sources agree on.

[@TantelyAndriana]

@@DeepMarineScenes I understand now... Hopefully, the blue whale will hold this record for a long time (finger crossed).
