With standardized IQ tests, IQ tests are designed so that their scores have a âbell curveâ distribution in the general population with an average of 100. This curve has a peak in the middle where most people score and tapering ends where only a few people score. In statistics this is called a normal distribution.
The Blue Whale, Largest Animal On Earth. The blue whale, Balaenoptera musculus, is the largest animal ever to have lived on Earth. Depending on which expert is cited, blue whales once attained lengths of 100 to 120 feet (32 meters) and have weighed up to 160 tons (145 metric tonnes). Blue whales are found throughout the worlds oceans.
Unconfirmed claims of considerably larger individuals, over 14 m (46 ft) long and weighing at least 30 t (66,000 lb), are not uncommon. The whale shark holds many records for sheer size in the animal kingdom, most notably being by far the largest living nonmammalian vertebrate.
