"Of all the animals in the world, both on land and in the sea, none are larger than the blue whale. This giant marine mammal has existed for 1.5 million years and has roamed the oceans for centuries, even larger than the dinosaurs that ever lived. They have an average length of 90 feet and weigh over 300,000 pounds, with females slightly larger than males."
The translation of "Latar Belakang Paus Biru" to English is "Background of the Blue Whale".
The blue whale is a solitary animal and usually found alone or occasionally in pairs. They do not form strong bonds other than the bond between mother and calf. Females typically give birth every two to three years and carry their young for twelve months. Even baby blue whales are very large.
Size of an African elephant at birth: A blue whale calf typically measures about 23 feet in length at birth and weighs around 6,000 pounds, which is roughly equivalent to the weight of an African elephant.
Grow the size of a human every day.
"Blue whale calves gain about 200 pounds per day during their first year, only drinking their mother's milk for the first seven months, and typically leave their mother around one year of age."
This giant creature can be found in every major ocean in the world except the Arctic Ocean.
It is believed that some of them migrate to new feeding areas during the summer and return to warm waters during the winter. There is an area in the Gulf of California, also known as the Sea of Cortés, which is believed to be a favored place for blue whales to give birth and nurse between December and March due to a number of observations of females with calves there.
The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags is: "The size is larger in the southern part."
Blue whales in the southern hemisphere are generally larger than those in the northern hemisphere, and in all subspecies, females are larger than males. However, even the smallest - Pygmy blue whale - still remains one of the largest whales with an average length of about 79 feet.
The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Blue whales can also be found along the coast of Chile, but due to their unique songs, geographical separation, and genetics, they may be a separate subspecies."

How Much Do Blue Whales Eat to Get So Big?
"Because of their very large size, they need to eat a lot of krill every day to survive, and one blue whale can consume 40 million krill per day (about 8,000 pounds). Krill is caught in the baleen plates while seawater is sent back, allowing the blue whale to swallow krill."
The translation of "Paus Biru Terbesar yang Pernah Tercatat" to English is "The Largest Blue Whale Ever Recorded."
The largest recorded blue whale weighed 418,878 pounds and the longest measured blue whale was a female measured in South Georgia, Southern Atlantic Ocean in 1909. This giant whale measured an extraordinary length of 110 feet and 17 inches.
Is the Blue Whale the Largest Species that Ever Existed?
They are believed to be the largest species that ever lived! This is an amazing fact considering that animals ranging from ancient insects to sharks, and reptiles have ancient relatives that are much larger than current species.
"The Future of This Species"
Blue whales have a life expectancy of about 90 years, and scientists estimate their age quite accurately by counting the layers of wax in the "earplug" of deceased whales. These "earplugs" form a new layer every year and are known as a reliable method for determining the age of blue whales.
"Unfortunately, although their numbers initially reached hundreds of thousands, now only around 25,000 of these gentle giants remain."
They are now classified as an endangered species.
