The Blue Whale is the largest whale and the largest living creature on Earth. Blue whales were hunted a lot for oil, baleen, meat, and other products from the 1930s to the 1960s. This hunting almost caused the extinction of the species. They are now protected and may gradually be returning in several areas.

  Blue whales are mainly found in very cold waters, like the Arctic and Antarctic waters. They migrate to the tropics in the winter and to the Arctic and Antarctic in summer. Blue whales can reach over 24 m (80 ft) long; mature females are usually a bit longer than mature males. They weigh between 87,500142,500 kg. The skin has a light grey and white spotty pattern. Blue whales feed by opening its mouth into dense groups of small sea creatures like plankton, krill or fish. Blue whales are mammals. They give birth once every two or three years. Mating occurs during the summer season, and they give birth after about 11 months. The calf nurse for seven or eight months and gain weight about 90 kg (200 lb) per day.

Mouse-Deer

Mouse-deer, are small ungulates that make up the family Tragulidae, the only members of the infraorder Tragulina. They are found mostly in forests in South and Southeast Asia, with a single species in the rainforests of Central and West Africa.

Mouse-deer has primitive features, closer to non-ruminants such as pigs. All species in the family lack horns, but both sexes have elongated canine teeth. These are especially prominent in males, where they project out on either side of the lower jaw and are used in fights. Their legs are short and thin, which makes them lack in agility but also helps them maintain a smaller profile to aid in running through the dense foliage of their environments.

They are solitary or live in pairs. The young are weaned at three months of age and reach sexual maturity between five and 10 months. Parental care is relatively limited. Although they lack the types of scent glands found in most other ruminants, they do have a chin gland for marking each other as mates or antagonists, and, in the case of the water chevrotain, anal and preputial glands for marking territory. Their territories are relatively small, on the order of 13–24 hectares (32–59 acres), but neighbors generally ignore each other, rather than compete aggressively.

“Their legs are short and thin, which makes them lack in agility but also helps them maintain.”
