## The Planet's True Giants

The Blue Whale is the largest animal ever known to have existed on Earth—bigger than any dinosaur. Reaching lengths up to 30 meters and weighing over 200 tons, its heart is the size of a car.

### THE LAND OF GIANTS FROM LAND TO OCEAN

Sri Lanka is a land of extraordinary natural wonders, home to the largest creatures on both land and sea. In the lush forests of Yala, mighty elephants roam freely, while just off the golden southern beaches, the world's largest marine mammal, the blue whale glides through the deep waters. Few places on Earth offer such a rare opportunity to witness these majestic giants in their natural habitats.

#### THE PYGMY BLUE WHALE A RESIDENT GIANT OF SRI LANKA

Among the world’s blue whale populations, Sri Lanka’s Pygmy Blue Whales (Balaenoptera musculus indica) stand out. Unlike their Antarctic relatives, which migrate across vast distances, these whales stay in Sri Lanka’s warm Indian Ocean waters year-round. The nutrient-rich waters provide them with ample food and ideal living conditions, making Sri Lanka one of the best places in the world to see these magnificent creatures up close.
Visitors can witness these gentle giants in their natural environment at Mirissa, Trincomalee, and Kalpitiya, where the sight of a blue whale surfacing, its massive body shimmering under the tropical sun before it gracefully disappears into the oceanis an unforgettable experience.

## THE BIOLOGY OF A TITAN

Despite their name, Pygmy Blue Whales are still enormous, growing up to 24 meters (79 feet) long. These deep-sea divers can plunge up to 500 meters (1,640 feet) in search of food and hold their breath for over 20 minutes. They consume 2-4 tons of krill per day, filtering thousands of tiny shrimp-like creatures using their baleen plates.
They also communicate using deep, low-frequency songs that can travel hundreds of kilometers underwater, allowing them to stay connected even when far apart. However, their slow reproduction rate, females give birth only once every 2-3 years makes them particularly vulnerable to environmental threats.

## THE CALL FOR CONSERVATION

Pygmy Blue Whales play a vital role in the ocean’s ecosystem, but they face increasing threats from climate change, ship strikes, and ocean pollution. Protecting these giants requires sustainable tourism and conservation efforts.
