Detailed explanation-1: -The Antarctic blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus ssp. Intermedia) is the biggest animal on the planet, weighing up to 400, 000 pounds (approximately 33 elephants) and reaching up to 98 feet in length.

Detailed explanation-2: -At 100 feet long and 200 tons, not only is the blue whale the biggest mammal in the world, but it’s also the largest vertebrate animal that has ever lived. Not even the largest dinosaurs approached it in bulk. Some titanosaurs were over 100 feet long, but they didn’t weigh 200 tons.

Detailed explanation-3: -While there might never be a larger animal than the blue whale, there are other kinds of organism that dwarf it. The largest of them all, dubbed the “humongous fungus”, is a honey mushroom (Armillaria ostoyae).
