I like it when they have fruit and cereal, bagels or pastries or toast, and the obligatory drinks. A coffee and croissant is the classic continental breakfast. Everything else could be considered extra. So give the whining a rest already.
A blue whale's tongue weighs more than an elephant. Average fully grown blue whales are around 100-120 tonnes and particularly large individuals have been estimated at 200 tonnes. An average blue is about the equivalent of about 25 fully grown African bull elephants.
The weight of individual blue whales varies significantly according to fat condition. Antarctic blue whales gain 50% of their lean body weight in the summer feeding season, i.e. a blue whale entering the Antarctic weighing 100 tons would leave weighing 150 tons. Pregnant females probably gain 60â65%. The fattened weight is 120% the average weight and the lean weight is 80%.
