The Blue Whales Extinction
Blue whales are getting extinct because of fishing nets, pollution, and illegal whaling.
Description:
The blue whale is the largest animal ever to inhabit the Earth. This gentle giant has grayish- blue skin with light spots. It has about 300 to 400 baleen plates instead of teeth which it uses to strain food from the ocean water.
Size:
Measuring 70 to 80 feet in length, the longest recorded length was 106 feet. Blue whales can weigh as much as 90 to 150 tons. The female is larger than the male.
Food:
A blue whale can eat up to 7,715 pounds of krill (small shrimp-like organisms) per day!

Wow, they can jump higher than me! But I don't like the water. Maybe I can be a land whale! Wouldn't that be awesome!
