I like it when they have fruit and cereal, bagels or pastries or toast, and the obligatory drinks. A coffee and croissant is the classic continental breakfast. Everything else could be considered extra. So give the whining a rest already.
A blue whale's tongue weighs more than an elephant. Average fully grown blue whales are around 100-120 tonnes and particularly large individuals have been estimated at 200 tonnes. An average blue is about the equivalent of about 25 fully grown African bull elephants.
With each mouthful, the whale can hold up to 5,000 kg of water and plankton. Having forced the water out of its mouth, the whale licks these bristles with its fleshy tongue. Although the blue whale is a deep-water hunter, as a mammal, it must come to the surface of the sea to breathe.
