The blue whale is the largest animal on Earth. It can grow to about 33 metres long and weigh around 150,000 kilograms. Despite its enormous size, the blue whale eats very small animals called krill. It takes large amounts of water into its mouth and filters the krill from it. Blue whales live in oceans around the world and often travel long distances between feeding and breeding areas. Scientists estimate that they can live for about 80 to 90 years. In the past, people hunted large numbers of blue whales, and their population fell dramatically. Today, blue whales are protected, but they still face dangers such as collisions with ships, fishing equipment and ocean noise.
