The blue whale is the largest animal known to have ever lived on Earth and is the largest mammal in the world. These massive creatures are hefty from the moment they are born and continue to add to their girth throughout their first year. A blue whale calf weighs two tons (1,814 kilograms) at birth and gains an extra 200 pounds (91 kilograms) each day of its first year.
