The life-size sculpture of a baby blue whale
They are heavier than 25 adult elephants. They have a heart the size of a car. They are larger than the biggest dinosaurs. They can move at the speed of 32km/h. They are the largest and considered one of the most intelligent mammals on earth. And they have existed for 18 million years. They are the Big Blue Whales and they are endangered.
Kids and parents at the exhibit
National Geographic Channel brings its last Asian leg tour to the Philippines that aims to bring public awareness and understanding of the blue whales. A life-size sculpture of a two-month, female blue whale modeled in Australia is the highlight of the exhibit. It’s done and lit pretty good. A lot of kids enjoyed viewing the exhibit when I was there.
National Geographic and the Big Blue
The exhibit also has expert sharing sessions, activities and a feature writing competition. Also showing are exclusive and never before seen footages from the National Geographic Documentary, Big Blue.
