Blue Whale

Named for its blue-gray color, this huge cetacean may grow to be roughly 100 feet long and weigh more that 120 tons! A blue whale eats about 4 tons of krill per day during the feeding season! This means that about 40 million krill are eaten every day for six months by a blue whale! The tongue of the blue whale can be as big as a Volkswagen! The blue whale is the loudest animal on earth!

Weddell Seal

The southernmost pinniped in the world. In what is known as reverse sexual dimorphism, males are generally smaller than females. A newborn pup has a coat of long hair, called lanugo, which they will shed within the first month as the protective layer of blubber is developed.
