Blue Whale Vs. Human Size Comparison Stacking a blue whale vs. sperm whale vs. megalodon vs. brontosaurs vs. human It’s easy to forget just how big a blue whale is compared to a human until you learn that just the tail of a blue whale is 25 feet wide – nearly 5 times the heigh...
From time immemorial, Human beings have always had a thing for the size of large creatures. Looking at it from an aquatic point of view, there is none as big as the blue whale which holds the reputation of being the largest animal to have ever existed on the earth. Both creatures, ...
There have been at least 11 documented cases of Blue/Fin Whale hybrid adults in the wild. Arnason and Gullberg describe the genetic distance between a Blue and a Fin as about the same as that between a human and gorilla. Blue Whale/Humpback Whale hybrids are also known. The specific name ...
If you’re going to discuss whales, it makes sense to start with the largest whale species of them all, the Blue Whale. Blue Whale size and weight stats are truly spectacular, making us humans seem tiny and utterly insignificant by comparison. But there are plenty of otherfascinating Blue W...
Arnason and Gullberg describe the genetic distance between a blue and a fin as about the same as that between a human and a gorilla.[22] Researchers working off Fiji believe they photographed a hybrid humpback/blue whale[23]including the case of discovery thorough DNA analyzing from a meat ...
The heart is about the size of a Volkswagon bug car. A human could crawl through the aorta (a major blood vessel). A Comparison of the Size of the Blue Whale and Other Interesting AnimalsLOUDNESSBlue whales are the loudest animals on Earth! Their call reaches levels up to 188 decibels. ...
The Southern California Bight (SCB) is an area of very high human use that is also a highly productive ecosystem due to strong upwelling (Smith & Eppley 1982). This productivity attracts a variety of cetaceans, including blue and fin whales (Barlow & Forney 2007). Blue whales are present ...
consistent with area-restricted searching (ARS) and transiting, indicative of foraging in and moving among prey patches, respectively. However, the relationship between the environmental correlates that serve as a proxy of prey relative to blue whale movement behavior has not been quantitatively ...
Blue whale sound production has been thought to occur by Helmholtz resonance via air flowing from the lungs into the upper respiratory spaces. This implies that the frequency of blue whale vocalizations might be directly proportional to the size of their sound-producing organs. Here we present a...
Defining priority areas and risk evaluation is of utmost relevance for endangered species` conservation. For the blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus), we aim to assess environmental habitat selection drivers, priority areas for conservation and overlap with vessel traffic off northern Chilean Patagonia (NCP...
