Blue Whales in Sri Lanka!

Awesome image by Amos - click for detail!

This is believed to be the largest animal to have ever existed.
The Sri Lankan Whales are likely to be a sub-species, the Pygmy Blue Whale (Balaenoptera musculus brevicauda). The Blue Whale is classified as endangered, the Pygmy is data deficient.

Enjoy!
