With an average weight ranging between 130,000 and 150,000 kg, the hearts of blue whales are remarkable organs, tipping the scales at around 180 kg. This substantial size becomes a key factor in the extraordinary phenomenon whereby the heartbeat of a blue whale, despite its distance, resonates audibly from over 2 miles away. The sheer magnitude of their cardiovascular system contributes to the awe-inspiring ability to detect the rhythmic pulsations of these colossal creatures in the vast expanses of the ocean.
