Blue Whale

The blue whale’s heart is huge. It’s the largest heart in the animal kingdom, weighing about 400 pounds (180 kilograms)—about the same weight as a gorilla and roughly the size of a bumper car. As a blue whale dives to feed, its giant heart may only beat twice per minute. Source: Treehugger

I have always been fascinated by the variety of critters that populate our planet INCLUDING those that live in the ocean…..I love the “grace” of the whale underwater……the way they treat their young and the way they travel in “pods” like family.
Hugs, Pam
Me too and I don’t think we know every much about what’s in the ocean. Love and hugs to you and lots of scritches to handsome Teddy. 🙂
Aww… such a big heart💗What a beautiful creature💗Double Pawkisses for a Happy Day and Week ahead to you, dear Sandee, Zane and the kitties too🐾😽💞
Yes and yes. They are beautiful creatures indeed. Double Pawkisses to you both and a big hug to Granny. 🙂
Wow – I never knew. They are such gorgeous animals!
I didn’t know this either and found it most amazing. Scritches to handsome Duke. 🙂

Such an amazing creature with a giant heart!
I agree with you, my friend. Scritches to the pups. 🙂
A true living creature with a big heart. Our marine mammals fascinate me because I suspect some are even more intelligent than we are. Alana ramblinwitham
I agree that they are more intelligent than we are. Happy day and rest of the week, Alana. 🙂
Amazing! They are such magnificent and peaceful creatures. Thank you for sharing these really cool facts about them today, Sandee. Hugs!
They are indeed. Happy WW and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
These creatures are amazing. Sometimes I think they smile due to the configuration of the mouth…
Hugs, dear Sandee! Happy WW and a fine week! Thank you for the blog hop.❤️😘
I like it that they smile. Love and hugs, Suzana. 🙂
Wales are beautiful but I never knew they have such a huge heart. We have been lucky to very occasionally see them, mostly off Norway, but once a pod when we cruised in Alaska.
Seeing whales is a most wonderful thing. Happy WW and rest of the week, Jackie. Love and hugs. 🙂
That’s pretty amazing and they really are beautiful creatures.
They sure are beautiful creatures. Happy WW and rest of the week. Scritches to all the precious kitties. 🙂

These great creatures are so majestic and powerful. I did not know this fact about the Blue Whale’s heart. That is amazing. I know so little about the ocean’s inhabitants although I love the oceans.

I’ve not seen a blue one either. It would be amazing. Have a great rest of the week, Lydia. 🙂
Such amazing and beautiful creatures, I hope we can do better about taking care of them and the oceans as we go into the future.
