BIG BLUE

For years fishermen have known of a unique spot in the ocean off southern Australia, a place of amazing catches and a huge luminescent blue creature of the deep. For the first time, HD cameras capture what happens when the Blue Whale, the planet’s largest living creature, has a feeding frenzy. Around 90 feet long, weighing up to 180 tons, with a heart the size of a Volkswagen and a tongue that weighs more than an elephant…this is a sight to behold.
