>Blue is the largest animal ever
Doubtful. The average blue is 24-26 meters, 90-110 tons. We just happen to know that exceptional individuals push 30 meters and 150-200 tons.
Yet we got a 24 meter shark and we know that from just one lucky vertebral column and a single 23 cm wide vertebrae from another specimen.
We got a blue whale sized ichthyosaur and a jaw fragment that suggest a bigger than blue whale sized specimen.
We even got sauropods that, even conservatively would size bigger than an average blue whale.
Each and every one of these specimens, even when using conservative estimates rival the average blue. Logically an exceptionally large individual of these species would likely rival or exceed the largest blues.
