Blue Whale - Mirissa Sea

Scientific Name: Balaenoptera musculus

The blue whale is the largest animal on earth. Not even the long-dead dinosaurs can match the size of the blue whale. Its slim, mottled, blue- gray body can be as long as 30 metres. It has a small curved dorsal fin placed far along its back. The whale is so big that its head disappears long before the dorsal fin and the huge flukes are seen.
