Dear Amy,
Consider three school busses parked end to end. An average blue whale is
almost that long.
The heart of a blue whale is the size of a volkswagen beetle automobile.
A small child could crawl through the aorta of a blue whale.
an average human being weighs 135 pounds. An average blue whale weighs180000
pounds.
a search here on Whalenet for blue whale will disclose other size
comparisons.
