Antarctic Ice Sheet Melting Speeds Up
Ice sheet is speeding up quickly.
There are about 40 million of krill a day that an adult whale consume. The Blue Whales usually feed in the areas with highest Krill concentration. Sometimes they eat up to 3,600 kilograms of krill in just one day.
The Blue Whales are very hard to catch or kill. This is due to their speed, size and strength making then rarely pursued by the early whalers.
The Blue Whale is up to 32.9 meters or 108 feet in lenght, 172 metric tons or 190 short tons and more. It was considered as the largest animal known to have existed in the planet.
