Were you aware that the Hump Back Whale can grow up to 15 metres in length and weigh up to 40 tonnes? Their flippers can grow up to 1/3 of their body length, which means they have the longest fin of any sea creature

Incredibly tsunamis (tidal waves) can move at the speed of a commercial jet plane – over 800 km per hour!
