This is perhaps the most awesome nature news I've ever posted! Again, this is NOT the wildlife project I told you we're launching, but it could serve as another nice little segue to it...
A scientific journal called Marine Mammal Science is about to publish information about the hugest animals on earth, endangered Blue whales, and how they've increasingly been spotted off the coasts of British Columbia, Alaska and Mexico's Baja. HOLY SHIT!
To give you an idea of the size of these things, here's an illustration I found comparing one to a Gray whale and a school bus. Woah.
These guys are kickin it in our backyard. Unbelievable? Here's the full story with all the scientific info and stuff courtesy of CBC.
