The Biggest

Some people argue that a vegetarian diet can’t support a large life-form. They obviously haven’t met the blue whale (Balenoptera musculus), a massive creature that survives on plankton.Weighing in at 150 tons, the blue whale isn’t only the largest mammal but, in fact, the largest animal known. Its ability to maintain life on such a grand scale is aided by its oceanic lifestyle.In comparison, the bull African elephant (Loxodonta Africana) is the largest land animal, and it weighs a mere 12 tons.

Fourth try to post this
This pseudo scientific deliberate distortion is appalling. The diet of this whale consists of mostly KRILL and other micro fauna. The plant content of its diet is almost an aftereffect of its feeding on small animalpopulation concentrations. This sort of deliberate distortion is all too common on the internet and tends to confuse young people who are not expecting lies like this. Krill are aware individuals that are slaughtered by the millions with each gulp by these all destroying monstors...At least that is from the krills view point... But whales are very, very, very, far from being vegetarians...
