Literary work: “Largest thing alive,
Still need your help,
To survive… “
Scientific resource:
“The blue whale is the largest mammal that has ever inhabited the earth. It attains a mature length of 70-85 ft (21-26 m) and has been recorded as long as 106 ft (32 m). The weight can range from 90-150 tons (81-136 metric tons). It has a U-shaped snout and 80-100 throat furrows. The dorsal fin is small and set far back on its streamlined body. “

The blue whale is the biggest mammal in the world. The first things that comes to mind when you hear blue whale are the ocean monster that going to eat you when you will see it. People have wrong association with whales. Big doesn’t mean scary and harmful. The blue whale is the largest mammal in the world but they hurt us less then we them. People kill blue whale even though they are so large 106 ft long when the average height of man is 5’ 11” twenty times smaller than a whale. Blue whales are big but they need our help to survive. The symbol that blue whale brings that large is not scary we shouldn’t judge anyone by the way they look.
