Dear Humans,
Whoops! There goes my blowhole! By the way, I bet you didn't know that my amazing blowhole could shoot water over thirty feet high! Boy, if you think that's high, you should see how tall I am! I'm 79 feet tall! Though I'm only a child, mama is 97 feet tall and papa is 105 feet tall! Well then, let's get started!
For a start, blue whales are the largest animals on earth. Us whales weigh about 200 tons. Of course, now you're wondering how we weigh this much. Well surprise, surprise, all we eat is krill. Krill is a tiny shrimp like creature that lives in the ocean. According to my human biography, krill to us is like ice cream to you. We just absolutely adore it! At certain parts of the year, we can even eat up to 4 tons of krill per day. The cool part is that our mouth can actually handle that much food at once! We're used to holding that much weight though, because our tongues weigh about as much as an elephant. Being a blue whale sounds really cool, don't you think so? Its not, and you'll find out why.
You see, humans are killing my species for all different sorts of things, like using out skin for clothing and eating us at fancy restaurants! Now because of you guys we are on the ENDANGERED LIST! Oh and here's the best. We can't even do anything about it! Yeah! You should feel guilty! Plus, before my best friend passed away, we use to swim together everyday, and because of you, it's super unlikely to see three blue whales at the most swimming together! Even though we can't do anything about it, you can. If you want to do something about this you should! Us whales would greatly appreciate it! Maybe by the time I am an adult whale, we won't be on the endangered list anymore! Thank you for your appreciate and generosity.
Thank you once more,
Bobby the Blue Whale
