Book Description
It is hard to imagine the size of the blue whale, the biggest creature possessing the earth. They are about the length of three school buses and the heart alone is the size of a little vehicle. There are records of people more than 100 feet (30.5 m) long, however 70-90 feet (23-27 m) is most likely normal. A normal load for a grown-up is 200,000 to 300,000 pounds (100-150 tons). Blue whales are general blue-dark color, mottled with light dim. Cold water diatoms hold fast to their skin and now and then give their tummies a yellowish hint, giving the blue whale its moniker of "sulfur base." Blue whales are long and smoothed out. Their dorsal balances are amazingly little, and their pectoral flippers are long and meager.

Book Description
The blue whale holds the title of largest creature that has ever lived, and it may also be the most mysterious. The biggest blue whales can outweigh every player in Major League Baseball and the National Hockey League combined. Their mouths can gulp more than thirteen thousand gallons of seawater. A newborn can be over twenty feet long and gain nearly twenty tons in seven months—about eight pounds per hour. Blue whales emit more powerful sounds than any other animal on earth, though many of their vocalizations are beyond the range of human hearing. Yet nearly everything that we have learned about blue whales has come after humans almost wiped them out from the oceans. A century ago, some three hundred thousand roamed the seas. But in the first decades of the twentieth century, humans hunted and killed 99.9% of them. Their numbers decimated, the species seemed destined for extinction. Only in recent years has the number slowly begun to increase, along with hope for the blue whale's future. Equal parts history and science, Wild Blue is the first comprehensive portrait of the blue whale. It draws upon new findings from scientists who have begun to identify individual blue whales and understand how they dive, how they feed, where they migrate, and why they emit their haunting, low-frequency calls. With deft, poignant writing, Dan Bortolotti gives us the most vibrant, breathtaking view to date of these magnificent creatures.
