Ocean Fact

In keeping with the theme of the previous post, this week's fact also shows how old the creatures of the oceans can be.

'The blue whale, the largest animal on our planet ever (exceeding the size of the greatest dinosaurs) still lives in the ocean; it's heart is the size of a Volkswagen.'

A creature that huge must be extremely old. Facts such as these really show how large and old the oceans are. It makes me wonder why humans think we are the most important beings on this world...
