Blue whales

More than 25 blue whales, the earth's largest animal, decided to feed just off the coast of Monterey, California earlier today, enthralling whale watchers and lucky tourists who were on a whale watching expedition.

Experts say the waters were rich with krill, and that the sightings are a "once-in-a-decade" spectacle. 

An average Blue whale is 90 feet long and they are highly endangered. There are only 2,200 blue whales living off the coast of California and only 8,000 living elsewhere.
