Is there an animal bigger than the blue whale? The blue whale, Balaenoptera musculus, is by far the most colossal animal alive today with the largest individuals weighing over two hundred metric tons. But is it really the biggest animal ever? This video analyzes the prehistoric giants of Earth’s ancient past to see which ones had the best shot at surpassing the blue whale’s size. Prehistoric monsters like Otodus megalodon, giant sauropods, and enormous ichthyosaurs all enter the ring with Big Blue to see if they can come out on top.
