National Geographic has this neat little interactive graphic that visually compares the size of a blue whale with other large objects and animals.
The video of a ship strike on a blue whale is shocking, but so is the rest of the threats that blue whales face on a day to day basis.
If you still aren’t grasping the size of a blue whale, consider this life-size visual from the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society.
i thought the objects at the bottom of the chart was to scale…i was like, “that’s wrong.”
This graph is bunk. Not trashing you or the site (doobybrain rules) That graph in particular is completely useless. Obviously the whale isn’t scale to the human, and the tank; seeing as the tank and human aren’t scale to each other. Viva Science!!!!
I’m not sure you looked at the link correctly. the image above is just a screenshot.
The graph above isn’t obviously on the right scale. Go for the NatGeo visual comparison n u’ll get wat u want!
