Apparently, we still don’t know where Blue whales go to breed. How is this possible with all our modern technology? We have satellites, GPS, trackers, sensors, submarines, and deepsea drones, yet hundreds of 300,000-pound mammals just disappear every year? Someone tie a string to the damn thing!

Ocean big. Like. Very very big. We’re talking 71% of the Earth’s SURFACE is water. That’s not even scratching the actual depths of said ocean. There are massive swaths of land on this planet that is unobserved for extended periods. And that’s basically our domain. Now try imagining how little observed the ocean is. JK we actually already know what’s never been seen yet. It’s 80%. Eighty percent of the unimaginable vast and deep three dimensional living space that 71% of our plant is covered in, is unexplored. With that in mind it’s amazing that we even know some of these fish exist. A blue whale is large sure. But we’re talking like trying to track an ant in mall levels here.
