Amazing Blue Whale Facts

Blue whales swim through all of the world's major oceans, traveling thousands of miles between cold polar feeding grounds and warmer tropical breeding waters. Despite their massive size, they feed almost exclusively on tiny shrimp-like crustaceans called krill, consuming up to four tons of krill daily. Their wide tail flukes provide powerful propulsion, pushing their massive bodies through deep open sea currents.
