Aquarium of the Pacific

I recently had the opportunity to visit the Aquarium of the Pacificin Long Beach, CA. In the main hall is a life-size model of a blue whale, which is believed to be the largest animal to have ever lived on Earth. 

According to Wikipedia, the model is 88 feet long and represents the average size of female blue whales. However, the largest blue whales approach 100 feet long and weigh close to 200 tons!
