    This article is a classic example illustrating why you can’t trust the internet!

    This article mentions that the “Blue Whale” is “also considered to be the largest animal”.

    The Whale Shark can weigh 15 tons, the Blue Whale can weigh 200 tons…

    In what world can you equate 15 tons with 200 tons?
