  • 12 people are japanese

  • the tongue is so sexy :P

  • 0:08 he says horney llf im immature ..

  • Please fight against whale and dolphin massacres... these animals are rare and beautiful. In a couple of years they will be totally extinct.

  • Thumbs up if the Kayak video brought you here

  • talk about a golden voice..

  • We are a much greater creature than anything else on this planet. We have been given a capacity for amazing things, like dancing, imagination, and language. But with that gift, also comes the capacity for right and wrong; there lies the responsibility, and the price for being the greatest species on the planet.

  • It's amazing that we're lucky enough to live during the reign of the largest animal that has ever xisted and yet we're driving it to extinction.

    Disgusting.

  • Humans do have a role on this planet; whether it be we were placed on Earth by God or nature we ARE selected to be part of the Earth. But the greatest things about humans is that given time... we will change our ways; and hopefully for the better.

  • fuck offffffff japs, leave those whales alone

  • To most people the blue whale is a beautiful creature. To the Japanese, Sushi -.-

  • @readmymindhomey nature gave us free will and the brains but how we use it and what we do is our choice . doing things just because we can doesnt make it right or logical most of things i see in the world are selfish while we all know what is right and wrong.

  • What is about David Attenborough's voice ... I could listen to it all day long - he is the Morgan Freeman of the documentary world.

  • i wish i could be a blue whale :3

  • Killed not 'killer'

  • David killer that blue whale himself with a Swiss knife

  • One of the most amazing animals

  • Genesis 1:21

    And God created the great whales, and every living and moving creature, which the waters brought forth, according to their kinds, and every winged fowl according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

  • A tongue as big as an elephant? A heart as big as a small car? The size of the blue whale has always astounded me. Even hearing how big it is my mind can literally not comprehend it, unless I saw it with my naked eye. Oh my gosh that would be so breathe taking! This man is so lucky!! I'd give anything to be in his boat. That would probably scare me though too haha. If that whale bumped the boat.......

  • @13Bee1 ps. You're so dumb for calling yay extremely insignificant. What would the world be if humans weren't around? Yeah. The whole world would be a forest. Which proves my point. Oh and that's why we rule the world. Were smart. Maybe not you. But were smart.

  • @13Bee1 you're retarded. Go back to the forest. Can the lion make a car? Nope. Can they build buildings? Nope. Can any other animal takeover the world? Nope. Can humans kill any animal on earth? Yup. You're dumb.

  • @Brighteyes1ful

    like to spit on charles darwin's shoes, would you, Bible Breath?

    hah! "no evidence," thats rediculous. the evidence of evolution is evrywhere! there are thousands of scientists who devote their lives to studying that evidence. i have absolutely no religious beliefs whatsoever. im not a "fool", for being different than you, and im not a "fool" for being right. try and change my beliefs, Church Tyrant, i dare you, try.

  • These animals were not evolved but created how on earth can you explain the vast measurements, this is not past a wonderful creator to do this, which is easier evolution which there is no evidence to support or creation? Be careful how you answer because only a fool would claim evolution?

  • @Brighteyes1ful creationists are real ... i thought stories about these people are ficitonal ... you should read the books of richard dawkins ... aaaah ... i forgot for you there only exists the bible ... that´s the only thing you people understand ... that makes me sad and angry and sometimes laugh because of this stupidity ... i read dawkins and the bible ... dawkins is more convincing ... although i always "believed" in evolution ... there is proof enough

  • Damn.... so impressive and magnificent. I wanna swim next to one in the open ocean. If it's safe, that is.

  • The blue whale is not the biggest creature ever to of lived, there were dinosaurs bigger, but the blue whale is huge, i want a pet one :L

  • @GeorgeDaPunk Calculating Mass, wich is the way used to calculate the size on animals, the blue whale is indeed the Largest creature to ever lived

  • @YouGotFranked No its not, its definately very close to the biggest but its not, its the biggest alive today but not the biggest ever

  • How did a great nature clip end up being about religion and racism? As the philosophical Jedi would say, you need to go home and rethink your life.

  • @christo826 -

    "Wanna buy some death sticks?"

    "You will go home & rethink your life."

    "I'm gonna go home & rethink my life.." SW FTW

    Btw; Blue Whales are truly remarkable animals! It would be amazing to see one before I pass. 100 ft./33m. is enormous! When I was young I read many books about Space & Marine Life & both universes (Actual Universe & The Ocean) are both so vast & captivating. Whales & Sharks were always the most incredible to me & that passion has yet to die. Blue Whales are Boss.

  • @ow1ShinoXr : there´s no proof that this animal ever existed ... the only fossil (if it existed) was destroyed ... btw i don´t think that such an enormous animal could move on land ... it would be too heavy to sustain his own weight ... he wouldn´t also be able to cover his energy needs ...

  • @wegi54 are you an idiot

  • @TONETRIP420 pardon me ... waht kind of dumbass are you??????

  • only a God could of made a creature so well built...

  • @gtjet1 Nah, you're just not being imaginative enough.

  • @gtjet1 Bullshit,Nature made it not some dude in the sky

  • @GTXMAN "nature made it". So there is some entity called "nature" that "makes" things? Looks like you are just replacing the word "god" with "nature". Silly athiest, you dont have any more idea than any one else how the universe was created. Most intelligent people believe that a creation is a sign of a creator. And if you study the obviously intelligent design of the universe you can further see evidence. 

  • @GTXMAN when u die i wonder if u will still call HIM some dude in the sky.

  • @gtjet1 Well see,99.999% I wont see this dude,cuz there is no proof he exists

  • do sharks attack these? or are they too big to even try?

  • @YenusV MUUUCHHH TO BIG lol

  • @YenusV They are occasionally attacked by guops of Orcas.

    And sometimes Orcas attack sharks.

  • This is all wrong. Why does everyone think the blue whale is the biggest/longest animal to have ever existed.... the amphicoelias is, or was it was double size of the blue whale (60 meters ) and weighted about 120 tons.

  • @ow1ShinoXr

    the blue whales weighs 180 tons

  • Sea World should get one these and teach it to jump through hoops.

  • @evilclown99 man, it would be like a 200ft long Soviet Typhoon Class submarine surfacing, it would flood the entire stadium!!!!

  • lol thumbs up for horny plates 0:07

  • He sounds like Winnie the Pooh :)

  • he reminds me of that guy from jurassic park

  • @TheUnbeatableSpartan You mean the old guy from Jurassic Park? That's because its his brother. This is David Attenborough and his brother's name is Richard.

  • Did you hear that?? Biggest Animal that EVER Existed!!. When i tell this to my friends. They think i'm joking. You don't need to go back in time to see the biggest creatures. You just need to look around today. There is still some good in this world and its worth fighting for. (I admit that last sentence i stole from LOTR....lol)

  • gentle giants.

  • pepol kill blue whales

  • The worst animal in this planet: HUMANS! We break every cycle, destroy everybody's habitat, consume w/o thinking, kill just for the fun of it, eat w/o hunger, take w/o asking, receive w/o saying thank you and live w/o the conscience that we are the supreme animal and just because of that is our obligation & responsibility to take care of the rest.

  • @Mely197878 And that's why we are glad that 95% of our production members are not humans.

  • @Mely197878 thats probably why we are also the most dominant

  • @imthegreatest12345 Being the most dominant don't give us the right to destroy what we can't create. Being the "most" dominant give us the responsibility to make sure that we don't destroy the balance that was created even before we became to exist.

  • @Mely197878 there's no such thing as balance

  • @Mely197878 We are not the supreme animal. We are extremelu insignificant. Plants and animals can live without us, but we cannot live without them. Yes we can take of animals that are endangered and we can rescue the hurt, but think to yourself...who causes the damage in the first place? Humans. We are only at the top of the food chain or animal life because we have hands, and we can think about thinking about thinking. We are the only animal to do/have this. That's the only reason why.

  • @Mely197878 Shut the fuck up.

    If you hate humans so much get off the fucking computer and live in the woods.

    If crabs ruled the planets they wouldn't give a fuck about other species.

  • @Mely197878 h y p o c r i t e .

  • @Mely197878 humans aren't animals mate.

  • @TEKS4LIFE go back to school fucking idiot.

  • @Upscalemadness Nah, im in school, and i know you meant metaphorically, i just wanted to be annoying :D

  • @TEKS4LIFE well they're definitely mammals.

    Anyway, David Attenborough, you ledge hammer!

  • @Mely197878

    maybe you do

    but I dont

  • @Mely197878: You're human too buddy.

  • @Mely197878

    Did you know that if you put the chimps in the humans place, all donations, all organisations that are pro nature, every single thing on this planet that fights for someone else, would disappear. Human beings are the only planet on the earth that would knowingly help another life form.

    Take that into consideration.

  • @Mely197878 Fuck you...

  • @sullizak mely would be correct and says it without profanity , its uneducated tools like your self that seems to be the downfall of this planet ...so FUCK U

  • @Mely197878 agreed humans blow . we have the capacity to be amazing but selfish needs always get in the way i believe nature not nurture

  • @IamZENAKU us humans are to greedy and cruel

  • How can anyone say this had no creator, I know for sure that there is a god. This animal is magnificent.

  • I'm afraid of blue Wales! 

  • The blue whale is like modern day Leviathan

  • What a beautiful animal, I would love too be so close to a whale like that. I hope japan stops whaling. Karma is a bitch Japan, now you are paying for all those innocent whales you killed illegally.

  • 2:56- 3:07 OMG. so EPIC.

  • Happy 85th birthday to you David Attenborough (8th May 2011)

  • OMG Thats a giant fail whale!

  • fucking beautiful

  • I wish my university lecturers taught like this

  • What an explanation I love it

  • actually there was larger like the leo plueorodon

  • @manbearpig937 wait actually that one was wrong but their has been larger

  • My favorite animal on earth. The Giant of Giants.

  • Lets feed the whale big macs and see how big it gets

  • 100ton??? JEZUS CHRIST thats a fucking airplane

  • 4:55 REAL OMF

  • Geez....way to go God. Thumbs up.

  • @bigchiefmsu what does god have to do with it?

  • @MrKevinsense my belief is that God made that awesome creature. just expressing my incredulity haha

  • LOL anyone saw the algae in the rear fin? 4:55

  • incredible

  • most beautiful animal ever. it is spectacular.

  • WOW. this is amazing

  • and people wonder why I love documentaries... without them, I would never the magnificent thing earth has... I can't imagine my life if I had never seen things like this.

  • largest animal on earth? pleeze. my aunt bertha's bigger than that overgrown tuna.

    trust me. she don't eat no damn krill either!

  • Ive heard that a some whale can sperm 400Liters...

  • That whale could take a huge ass hit.

  • do blue whales get attacked by other sea animals?

  • @sol200997 yes the only sea animals that attack and kill blue whales would be a group of killer whales also know as orca whales, that hunt in a group.

  • well if krill makes a whale that big - shouldnt webe eating it?

  • The first thing i saw was "how do these things have sex?"

  • Comment removed

  • Stay underwater for half an hour when it's that big and has lungs the size of trucks? Makes you appreciate even more the humans that can stay under water for 20 minutes -- when they have lungs one 100th the size. The human body is even more amazing than this creature.

  • @sheebshag Learn more about the circulatory system.

  • @sheebshag where did you pull 20 min from?? The average human can hold their breath for 45 sec.

    If you're thinking about the David Blaine style stuff where he's underwater for 2 hours, that's because he's in a state of suspended animation.

    e n.w iki pe dia. org / wiki / Breat hing

  • @DragonGuy123456789

    A Dane holds the record for underwater breath holding. His name is Stig Avall Severinsen. He stayed underwater for 20 minutes and 10 seconds. A Swish guy is number two with 19 minutes and 21 seconds. Granted, they both received pure oxygen prior to the performance, but still quite a feat. Without pure oxygen the record is about 15 minutes. They're all freedivers of course.

  • @sheebshag wrong, david blane did it for an hour.

  • @sheebshag i'm pretty sure the average human can't stay underwater for 20 minutes... or even more than 2 minutes...

  • imagine this mammal mutated.....into something.....and a lot more bigger...and bigger....

  • jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • 1,000,000,000,000,000 times more amazing than this comment.

  • save them

  • The reason any animal becomes extinct is because of man's lust for power and greed, which the zionists are corrupted with, the rich in the end will be sent empty away! Let's work together to help animals and keep them for further generations to enjoy. Peace to you all

  • wow

  • amazing....i would love to see one of these before i die

  • no transulate in arabic

    thanks alot

  • And the guy went and watched a blue whale on a boat the size of its heart???

    ...not the best idea.

  • magnificent it is

  • most amazing creature :D

  • This enormous beautiful creature can weigh 150-190 tons.

  • It can be as long as 30-35 metres (10-12-storey building). Its heart can weigh over 500 kg; its tail is as long as 7-8 metres.

  • The blue whale can weigh on average as much as 150-160 African buffalos or 25-30 African elephants.

  • It makes me want to eat krill

  • Guys whaling is wrong. Whats the point of wailing if theres gonna be no more whales soon? People kill them to make candles!! They kill them for oil also? We have oil all over the country

  • video is squished...

  • WE SHOULD HAVE BOMBED JAPAN!

  • 7 Japanese dislike this Video.

  • @thirsokewl wow thats the first time ive ever heard a Chuck norris joke on the internet

  • gotta admit it Attenborough is DA MAN!

  • NATURE U SCARY!

  • I guess when they were looking for what the blue whale eats they must have over looked the giant marine biologist in its stomach...

  • Bassy619 is a moron.

  • Bassy619 you are an ignorant child.

  • WUD UP ANGELFIRE

  • lol he said genitals.

  • And people used to kill these to make lantern oil. WTF humanity? WTF?

  • @ASSEMblerEX hey catch 1 and you can make millions... do you know how many oil lanterns you make out of 1 of them?? but oh well your right me and you just can't bring ourself to kill one of these magestic creatures... Dam i could of been a millionair........

  • @ASSEMblerEX The dirty Japs are still killing them.

  • @TheChoada I am also against killing any sort of living creatures... chicken/ lamb/ cow etc etc etc

  • @MeLuvsYuuTube Ur With PETA?

  • @VentusUnbirth no.. im not with PETA. i have my own free belief.

  • @TheChoada Nature punished them with eartquake and tsunami .

  • @TheChoada They dont kill blue whales you retard... Do your research on which whales they kill before you state that.

  • @opin92 Yes they do retard. While the mostly hunt mink whales, there are cases of Japs killing blues. Ignorant fuck.

  • @TheChoada NO THEY ARE NOT YOU DUMB BITCH

  • @opin92 Well, they kill whales, bad enough.

  • @ASSEMblerEX umm it was survival at one point you pit shit

  • @ASSEMblerEX Well they would more likely hunt the right whale.

  • Just wow.

  • pretty awesome vid

  • I every thing he know's about blue whales they eat krill the fastest animal alive is a pergine falcon. I adore animal's my lepord gecko died.

  • the blue whale, is simply, amazing :O!!

  • I found this to be a very informative and riveting documentary of Oprah Winfrey in her lean form.

  • @seunketchup88 this is a humorous statement because Oprah Winfrey is moderately overweight

  • How could anyone kill such a beautiful creature?

  • Do we know the former ancestor of the blue whale? Could someone send me a link?

  • Every blue whale video i've been on has a comment at the top about how the Japanese are to blame for the lack of these creature... and quite rightly so.

  • wish i had a harpoon

  • i hate this fucking man.

  • @Music4AFG

  • @mikew1990hello

    He is asslicker of Charles Fakewin and you are his dick sucker!

  • @Music4AFG OH NO YOU DIDN'T SAY THAT!

  • the sumo wrestlers of the sea.

  • some good school holiday viewing - A Blue Whale's tongue is as heavy as an elephant, it's tail is as wide as a small aircraft , some of it's blood vessels are large enough to swim in and it's heart is the size of a family car!

  • @JesusChristRules ... "Streamy" for most outrageously ridiculous comment on any public forum ever....
