アメリカ自然史博物館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (アメリカ自然史博物館Instagram)「Happy World Whale Day! 🐋 To mark the occasion, we’re highlighting the blue whale exhibit in the Museum’s Hall of Ocean Life. The blue whale is the largest animal on Earth. In fact, it's the biggest animal ever known to have existed. It's even bigger than the enormous dinosaurs that lived over 65 million years ago! Blue whales are still considered endangered, numbering only about 5,000-15,000 worldwide. They are still incredibly mysterious, and their habitat is still in peril. Today, we note the importance of conserving and protecting our oceans and its inhabitants. We hope the 21,000-pound- fiberglass- life-size-model at the Museum helps to inspire and bring awareness to our visitors. Do you remember the first time you stood under the blue whale?
