The document summarizes facts about the blue whale, including that it can grow up to 98 feet long and weigh 170 tons, eats small krill and up to 40 million per day, and was nearly driven to extinction by whalers but there are now an estimated 5,000 to 12,000 remaining. It also compares the blue whale's size to the largest dinosaur, and notes the heaviest whale killed by whalers was 190 tons.

3. The Blue whale can grow up to 30 meters or 98ft. A
normal Blue whale weighs 170 tons. The Blue whale eats
small krill. The Adult blue whale can eat up to 40 million
krill a day. The whale lived in all the ocean until the 20th
century when they were all most extended by whalers. In
a report in 2002 they said that they were only 5000 to
12000 whales left.
The largest dinosaur was the Argentinosaurus which was
estimated to be 90 just a little off from the blue whale. The
tongue on the blue whale is 2.7 metric tons. The heaviest
whale ever killed by the whalers was 190 tons. That is one
big whale.
