I like it when they have fruit and cereal, bagels or pastries or toast, and the obligatory drinks. A coffee and croissant is the classic continental breakfast. Everything else could be considered extra. So give the whining a rest already.
A blue whale's tongue weighs more than an elephant. Average fully grown blue whales are around 100-120 tonnes and particularly large individuals have been estimated at 200 tonnes. An average blue is about the equivalent of about 25 fully grown African bull elephants.
The tongue alone of a blue whale can weigh as much as an elephant and an entire football team could stand on it! The heart of a blue whale is about the size of a VW Beetle car and weighs up to 450 kg's. The aorta, a major blood vessel for the heart, is big enough for a human child to crawl through. Blue whales are pregnant for 10-12 months. The newborn calf is about 7.5 m long and weighs about 5.5 â 7.3 tonnes. A baby blue whale drinks about 225 litres (about enough to fill a bath) of its motherâs fat-laden milk (it is 40-50% fat) a day, gaining 3.7 kilograms an hour, until at age 8 months they are 15 m long and 22.5 tonnes!
