Next time you step on the scale and see you've put on a little weight think about this...Blue whale calves gain 200lbs a day, every day for their first year.
Picture from Antarctic Animals
When born, blue whale calves are already 23 feet long and weigh 5,000 pounds,
making them larger than most adult mammals. A calf will live off its
mother’s milk for the first six months of life, consuming over 100
gallons of it per day.
