Blue whale

The blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) was an aquatic mammal indigenous to Earth. It was a cetacean species. This species was notable for its blue and being the largest animal to ever inhabit the world. They were virtually gone by the end of the 20th century, having been hunted to the brink of extinction by the whaling industry.

Information on, a model of a mother with her baby from, and a global map showing the range of this species was included in a display of other baleen whales that was seen in the Cetacean Institute in 1986. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
