Biggest Whale-Basilosaurus (60 Tons). Basilosaurus (Nobu Tamura). Unlike the other mammals on this list, Basilosaurus can't lay claim to being the largest-ever of its breed--that honor belongs to the still-extant Blue Whale, which can grow to as much as 200 tons.
The blue whale is the largest animal ever known to have lived. By comparison, one of the largest known dinosaurs of the Mesozoic Era was Argentinosaurus, which is estimated to have weighed up to 90 tonnes (99 short tons), comparable to the average of blue whale.
