These enigmatic but colossal species are awe inspiring creatures, being the largest species to have ever existed they had made an impression on me from a young age.
The blue whale (Balenoptera musculus) is the largest animal to ever live. They can reach a weight of 150 tons and can be more than 30 metres long. Blue whales use their baleen as a filter-feeding system in order to capture and retain large quantities of krill.
I have used my sewing ability to recreate this species using fabric pieces that I had spare in my attic.
