The blue whale is the largest, and all animals are not as big as it.

1. The blue whale is the champion of whales and the largest animal on the planet today. The largest (female) is up to 33 5 meters long and weighs 190 tons.
2. The blue whale is the largest of all known animals, weighing as much as more than 25 African elephants, or 2,000-3,000 people combined.
3. There are more than 90 species of cetaceans in the world, which can be roughly divided into two categories, baleen cetaceans and toothed cetaceans. Baleen whales are large and feed on plankton in the sea, with the blue whale being the largest living animal on Earth. Toothed whales are generally relatively small in size and feed on marine mammals such as fish or seals, among which small toothed whales are collectively called dolphins, and the finless porpoise living in the Yangtze River in China is the smallest whale in the world.

Different species of whales vary greatly in size, for example, the average length of the blue whale is about 30 meters, and the average length of the humpback whale is about 13 meters.
1. Blue whale
The blue whale is not only the largest of the whales, but also the largest of all marine life. The average body length of a blue whale is about 30 meters, and it weighs more than 200 tons.
2. Bowhead whale
With an average length of 15 meters and a weight of 50 tons, bowhead whales belong to medium and large whales, and its mouth is the largest of all animals, and it can even break through thick ice to breathe out of the water.
3. Southern right whales
Southern right whales are found in the middle and high latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere, with a body length of 15-18 meters and a weight of 47-80 tons.
4. Fin whales
Fin whales are extremely large marine creatures, with an average body length of about 25 meters, and the number of fin whales has declined dramatically due to human hunting, and the number of fin whales that can be observed by humans is only a few dozen.
5. Humpback whales
Humpback whales have an average body length of about 13 meters and weigh 25-30 tons, and have a wide range. They feed mainly on small crustaceans such as krill, and they are very docile and like to be with their companions, and they swim very slowly, about 8-15 kilometers per hour.

The blue whale is the largest whale in the world。The blue whale is a marine mammal that belongs to the suborder Baleen Whales. There are four subspecies.
The blue whale is believed to be the largest animal known to have ever survived on Earth, reaching up to 33 meters long and weighing up to 181 tons. The blue whale has a slender body and a blue-gray back, although it can sometimes be lighter in the water.
Feeding characteristics of blue whalesBlue whales eat mainly krill, and adult whales can ingest 3 to 4 tonnes of krill per day. In southern waters, its main food species is Antarctic krill, a very small planktonic crustacean. In the northern waters, its main food species are Tailless algae and Norwegian krill, but it also eats other planktonic species and small fish.
When blue whales hunt, they will open their mouths to swim towards large schools of krill and then close their mouths around krill while puffing out their throat folds, thus filtering their food. Once the whale's mouth is closed, the blue whales use their tongues to push the trapped water out of their mouths and use their baleen plates to trap krill inside.

Whales have poor reproductive capacity, giving birth to a calf in an average of two years. Due to human hunting and pollution of the marine environment, the number of whales has decreased dramatically. For example, the largest of the cetaceans, the blue whale, had nearly 360,000 killed in the 20th century, and fewer than 50 remain. >>>More
Blue whale, a 190-tonne, meter-long female blue whale was captured in 1947. In 1909, a stranded blue whale in Grütwitz, South Georgia, in the South Atlantic, was a meter long. The blue whale is also the largest animal that has ever appeared on Earth. >>>More
Half a century ago, there were about 300,000 blue whales in the world, and by 1974 there were 25,000, and now there are only about 2,000 left. Although there have been international limits on the number of blue whales that can be killed each year since 1932, the prospects for the world's largest animal remain dangerous.
