Hello, it's Animal Time again. I'm Bob Smith. In today's program, I'll tell you<br />something about the blue whale. The blue whale is the largest existing animal and the heaviest<br />that ever existed. It can be more than 30 meters long and weighs over 200 tons. Its tongue weighs<br />as much as an elephant, its heart is the size of a car, and its tail alone is the width of<br />a small aircraft's wings. Usually, the ocean's largest animal feeds almost on the smallest<br />shellfish. A single whale can eat 40 million of them in a day. Like most other whales,<br />they swim all the way to the areas that are warm in winter. Besides, a female whale usually gives<br />birth to one baby every two or three years. It is reported that the blue whale is now an endangered<br />species because of hunting and pollution. That's all. Thank you for your listening.<br />Hello, it's Animal Time again. I'm Bob Smith.
