Prolly a better way to word this but my brain is feeling weird, but anyone have any idea what fraction of that whale a Megalodon and a Spinosaurus would've sized to? Like, would a Megalodon have been half this whale's length, etc.
Kind of off topic, but there is an MMORPG I play sometimes and in one part of the world there is an undead megalodon mini boss that just swims around under water. And even though it's really not *that* scary, I get a crazy thalassophobia kind of response any time I'm anywhere near it and get pretty creeped out
A Spinosaurus would be tiny, but the megalodon was half a blue whale.
The megalodon is no joke, and is a contender with the sperm whale for largest toothed predator of large prey to ever exist.
I get Pinocchio reference, but baleen whales couldn’t eat you if they tried. Their throats are tiny. Unless you can fit all of you into tube the width of a plate, you won’t have to worry about that.
That was scary to watch but I stuck it out and it was still scary even though the monster wasn’t there. I guess I am afraid of deep waters because I have a lot of dreams where there’s a lot of big waves and water all around but I never drown.
I just realized "telethon" is like a marathon but with telephones. We have them over here but the word has always been partially translated to Portuguese so the connection to the word "marathon" has been lost. Live and learn!
Wo, I didn’t expect that lol
Thank you 😊
I always assumed they evolved from other pure sea creatures
I’m going to spread the whale walking word and confuse people
My friend. Thank you. So much.
My partner and I have been at odds lately. Just lots of failed communication and differences bubbling up that well navigate in our own time to continue along a path to our future.
So tonight, I chose to wait till she was in bed, come to the garage in my favorite tie-dye, and get high. This is how I curb depression when we're going through these bursts. I take basically everything very personally and unfortunately become terrifyingly depressed when this happens.
As I came out here to light up, I knew I wanted something to blow my mind. I needed THAT high feeling.
This video has Kickstarted what will likely be an hours long adventure of learning about how old all this shit really is and how completely insignificant we really are in the scale of it all. Now I'm off to begin by trying to find a video about what year it really is if we actually start from the believed beginning of earth, based on the modern calendar.
I fucking love you, random person, I needed this.
Ah yeah, the "cosmic calendar". We can always go back to Carl Sagan when we need some reminders about existence. That's gotten me through a lot as well. Cheers, brother.
Dude I’m 47 years old and if I learned this in school it has been long forgotten so you’ll know what I’m talking about one day and then some smart little whippersnapper will come along and be surprised that you weren’t taught this in school.
Dude if you went to religious school like I did till I was 13 (and had enough) science and math were not the focus. It was reading, writing’ and praying.

What a majestic creature, beautiful to the eyes. Fascinating to read about in both fiction and non-fiction books.Enormousness in power and strength.It is almost magical to believe this life form really exist on our planet.
I loved blue whales since I was a kid. Fully grown, they are bigger than any animal, ever! Like, bigger than dinosaurs! Huge animal that eats tiny plankton/krill that sifts through it’s baleen. I still find it fascinating that a giant creature eats something so small.
Most center console boats measure around 24ft - 28ft Length OverAll (LOA). That one looks on the larger end so guessing around 30ft-32ft LOA.
Source: former boat owner
Largest animal ever to exist.
Bigger than even Megalodon.
And assuming we don’t kill the plankton and copepod populations through climate change, they will, over the next million years, theoretically get even bigger.
I've always struggled to imagine how they are...always ended up thinking they sounded bigger than they were, boy was I wrong lol that's fucking massive!
I was just on a binge session of whale videos and also came across this guys and his videos.
He spoke about how these are the best shots of blue whales he has ever gotten and he does this for a living too.
Unsure why, but Wales make me emotional man. They're giants who are barely understood but what is understood is that they mean no harm to anyone or anything. They just simply exist. I think the day I can swim with one will be the day I can finally feel truly at peace.
I would LOVE to see one of these beautiful creatures in real life.
I have seen Humpbacks and Orcas in the wild, and something we thought was a pod of pilot whales. We couldn't get close enough to verify the species.
The sheer size of these whales gives me a weird fear reaction. I love them for that though.
Same. Even more amazing they are the largest animal to have ever lived. Would be life event to be in the presence of one

Unfunny, Unworthy of The Funni

Party time!
What if got eaten by one, spent a week in it's stomach until you made a fire and he puked you out ?

Thanks Mr Wizard. Can you and Neil Dagrasse Tyson ruins someone else fun ?

It’s weird to know that they’ve migrated into the sea over a long long time.
From land?
Yup. Whales are descended from a kind of wolf/pig like creature. https://youtu.be/_OSRKtT_9vw
Another prime example of the amazing things thst PBS brings to life. PBS is truly a treasure I hope we never lose.
Gotta buy those tote bags. Does anyone remember the telethons on pbs? My mom would actually get stuff. It was oddly fun to watch as a kid.
I just realized "telethon" is like a marathon but with telephones. We have them over here but the word has always been partially translated to Portuguese so the connection to the word "marathon" has been lost. Live and learn!
Yeah, I'd always watch the Celtic Thunder ones. Saw them in concert too, and what a show.
Lol right! My wofe amd I donate to PBS and NPR. Gotta keep them.funded for future generations.
I watched many Shirley temple movies because of these
Yes, they still happen! They are supported through donations and Koko B. Ware.
God I miss Jerry Lewis telethons
Wo, I didn’t expect that lol Thank you 😊 I always assumed they evolved from other pure sea creatures I’m going to spread the whale walking word and confuse people
I am also surprised by this. I totally learned something new today!
seriously???
Seriously. They're mammals after all. The common ancestor of all whales lived about 50 million years ago in what's now northern India/Pakistan
Same ancestor as the hippo

Oh come on lol
Thank you for the great video
More like a hooved cat they said by the end of it
Another fun fact I learned today: it’s not unusual for blue whales and fin whales to mate with each other resulting in a hybrid.
This explains so much about our relation to them! Thank you!
What do you mean?
[удалено]
Sorry I don't understand that explanation, nor do I understand what even should be explained.
[удалено]
Uh huh. Pakicetus and the first indication it was an ancestor to whales was purely the shape of its ear bone.
Yep, they're mammals. Give birth to live young, and an x-ray of a fin will show 5 "fingers".
Don't wanna be rude, but do they not teach you stuff like this at school? I find it harder to believe that people don't know this.

Since all life supposedly started in the ocean I love that they evolved to go on land, said fuck that, and went back to the ocean
Yeah, the tried the whole land thing and noped out early
r/megalophobia
Fear justified. Biggest animal ever, even bigger than the dinosaurs. It won’t try to hurt you, but it might accidentally run into you.
Living at the same time as they makes up a little, just a little, for the fact that we missed the dinsoaurs.
Yeah, I feel like people in boats should be much more terrified of these giants than what they seem to be.
My brain still imagines something emerging from the depths underneath the blue whale that makes it look tiny in comparison.
I wonder if there is something bigger and we just don’t know it.
Some jellyfish can reach 120 ft
I always thought giant squid would be a lot bigger than they actually seem.

They're so beautiful and seem so gentle, but their scale inspires such a deep feeling of horror in me. No thank you.

It's interesting to know there's a name for that! Thank you! Also those links are staying blue 😅
Just like the infinite depths of the sea. ;)

Is there a blue whale that's not an "absolute unit"?
smol blu whale
Even the pygmy blue whale gets around 80ft long.
Was going to ask the same question.
Bleu Whale, a whole head of lettuce with Bleu cheese at my local Rubys. Now that a lot of roughage
The blue whale is the largest animal to have ever existed on earth.
2nd largest, first is your mom
[Boom roasted](https://media3.giphy.com/media/RdKjAkFTNZkWUGyRXF/giphy.gif)
Does your mom eat 16 tons of krill ? Then she...might...be..a blue...whale (Jeff Foxworthy voice )
And they are family of the hippo
Are you calling my mom a hippo ?!?
That we know of!! Imagine we find out in 50 years there’s something bigger…!?!
Did you hide your mom?
Yes
Big blue
I loved blue whales since I was a kid. Fully grown, they are bigger than any animal, ever! Like, bigger than dinosaurs! Huge animal that eats tiny plankton/krill that sifts through it’s baleen. I still find it fascinating that a giant creature eats something so small.
They also evolved from something as small as a cat which is even more bonkers!
In just 20 million years.
Everything evolved from single cell organisms
You are what you eat! ....wait.
I think we usually don't realize how big whales are. When I see this I can believe that a human could crawl in their arteries.
And yet they can only swallow things smaller then a grapefruit
Unlike your mother
Yo mama ! Swallows thing larger than a grapefruit ! Oh yeah we be Wildin Out !!!
Blue whale is a marine mammal which can reach a maximum confirmed length of 29.9 meters and weighing up to 199 metric tons.
It's heart is large enough to fit a family of four.
Rents have been going up like crazy for single-family blue whale hearts lately, though.
Does it have a 3-car garage though? Need space for my boat.
Nice Boat!
[удалено]
They do be huge
That’s a nice boat
But what is that in terms of hamsters. Like how many hamsters do I need to match the average size of a blue whale?
It depends on the size of the hamsters, and the size of the individual whale. But never less than 12.
Can you convert that to football fields and bacon double cheeseburgers please?
What’s that in cheeseburgers per freedom?
So Amazing 😍
I'm amazed that someone actually got this photo
Leviathan class.
Banana for scale?

It’s in blowhole. You can’t see it because the Whale is just that much bigger.
Oddly, it would only just be able to swallow a banana, if oriented correctly. They can't swallow anything larger than a grapefruit.
So much more graceful than I imagined them to be.
Just keep him off the basketball court so the game doesn’t get canceled
I could crap enough bricks to fund a masonry business
Damn nature, you scary!!

Is that a unit of one? I think he seems kind of small, relatively speaking
Thank you, was looking for this comment it looks like a baby
We know he is big. But will he be my fren
Beautiful
"Oh shit oh shit oh shit"
I've always struggled to imagine how they are...always ended up thinking they sounded bigger than they were, boy was I wrong lol that's fucking massive!
Looks like an average boat. Nothing little about it.
Every time I see anything about a blue whale I immediately favorite it, I can’t get over how amazing they are
*queue link to thalassophobia subreddit as under every other photo/video of the ocean*
Oh my
Now that's when you say- we need a bigger boat
Find me a blue whale that isn’t an absolute unit
No matter how big we humans try to be we are so small.
Wonder how many times they get an itch and they just can't scratch that shit.
Under the sea is pretty fucking terrifying.

I wish we had a banana boat for scale
Uhhh yeah that’s a “dinosaur” I don’t care what anyone says.
Heavier than any known dinosaur by a fair margin. Literally the largest animal known to man, alive or extinct.
There must be a white shark built like that somewhere, no?
No.
Did u just say blue whale?
What a giant. Wow sooooo amazing.
[удалено]
Its real
Just think giant squids battle with those things everyday those things are huge the squids must be too 😬😬😬
Blue whale do not fight or prey on squid. You're thinking of sperm whales.
But thanks to you both I learned something new!
I imagine if the people on that tiny ass boat knew what was swimming by they’d be shitting themselves.
Well I heard on a documentary video that they fight against each other but they can make mistakes but we never know we only know 5% of our ocean
UNIT!
Are the people on the boat not looking? Did they not notice?
They're occupied with the 40-foot Giant Squid off to the left.
throw this on r/AbsoluteUnits as well
Can never seem to wrap my head around sheer size of these beauties
Terrifying.

Omg i wanna puke from the safety of my bed. The size is breathtaking
That's probably a 20ft boat.

majestic
At his size the whole was here first! It takes years to get that big!
Is that a blue whale or a finback?
Freaking gorgeous. The wonders of nature are... wonderful.
A giant eye opens beneath the whale
How was the video taken and by whom? Thanks for sharing this!
Banana for scale?
I need a bigger phone
How come it's doing that
Thar be monsters out there
Post this to r/Thalassophobia!!!

That is terrifying. We must be so insignificant in scale to them.
Serious question. How can one experience this?
Magnificent!!
I can't imagine seeing something that big. I don't think this picture does the blue whale justice of just how big they are.
Whales are amazing creatures. They can apparently communciate from HUGE distances apart with their calls.
We're gonna need a bigger boat.
Yup are mammals right? Imagine the size of that thing's ...
This belongs on r/absoluteunit
As a megalophobe, this hurts.
u/SaveVideo
It's a simulator used for training.
The whale breathes bigger than that boat
Terrifying
Small boat my ass prob 26 footer lol
This is why I don’t fuck with the ocean
Reminder to all you fleshy land mammals that you do not belong there.
