Blue whales have made themselves at hme in a part f the Indian Ocean where they hadn’t been seen fr many years, accrding t a study published late last year. The blue whale, an endangered species, is the largest animal n Earth. These whales can grw t abut 100 feet lng and the animal’s heart alne can be the size f a small car.
