Blue Whales – Largest Animals On Earth
The Antarctic blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus ssp. Intermedia) is the biggest animal on the planet, weighing up to 400,000 pounds (approximately 33 elephants) and reaching up to 98 feet in length. The whale has a heart the size of a small car, and during the main feeding season, it consumes around 7936 pounds of krill per day. It is the loudest animal on Earth, even louder than a jet engine — its calls reach 188 decibels while a jet reaches 140 decibels. The whales’ low-frequency whistle can be heard for hundreds of miles and is probably used to attract other blue whales.
Giant Squid – Largest Invertebrates
The giant squid is the largest, largest and heaviest invertebrate animal ever known, and the heaviest in the world.
Although these organisms were known only from a few dead parts (due to the extreme difficulty of catching them), scientists have succeeded in capturing a number of them over the past years.
These organisms cannot be directly observed because of the extreme depths in which they live, but scientists believe – from studying their samples – that they hunt their prey with ambushes, taking advantage of their luminous organs that attract the attention of fish and other organisms in the deep sea to approach them and then pounce on them.
Giant Oarfish – World’s Largest Bony Fish
Giant oarfish can grow to lengths of over 50 feet, but these sea-serpent-like creatures have only been seen alive a handful of times.
You’d be forgiven for thinking oarfish are made up — the fever dream of an ambitious filmmaker or science-fiction author.
Hairy Mystery Blob Whale-Polar Bear Hybrid
A huge, hairy mysterious sea creature has washed up on a beach in the Philippines. Stunned locals have flocked to the beach in Cagdainao, Dinagat Islands to gawp at the monster-like beast and take selfies with it.
The huge white hairy beast is thought to have come ashore following a recent earthquake. Several unusual sea creatures have been washing up on the shores of the tropical islands following the deadly quake on Sunday.
Jellyfish Beach Booger
Scientists are working to classify a new species of giant jellyfish that washed up on an Australian beach, describing it as a ‘whopper’ that took their breath away.
The 1.5-metre (4ft 11inch) specimen was found by the Lim family in the southern state of Tasmania when they were collecting shells on a beach in Howden.
They took a picture and contacted a marine biologist who said the type of jellyfish had been seen in the past, but she had never seen one so big, or one that has become beached.
