Hello everyone!

The great battle: Blue Whale versus Mosquito. Who would win? Let’s imagine this amazing scenario.

The blue whale is the largest animal on Earth. In contrast, the mosquito measures only two to six millimeters, but it can kill more than one million people every year.

Picture this: one day, a strong wind blows a swarm of mosquitoes off the coast and over the ocean. The blue whale slaps its tail and wipes out hundreds of the mosquitoes. The mosquitoes fall to the ocean’s surface. I guess we could say the blue whale wins.

But hold on! The mosquito can carry a deadly virus. As the whale opens its mouth to feed on krill, a sneaky mosquito bites the whale’s tongue.

Uh-oh! The blue whale gets sick and feels awful for two weeks.

So, who do you think would finally win the battle?

This book is interesting and informative. I recommend it to everyone. Thank you.

Everybody knows that the blue whale is the largest animal on Earth. In contrast, the tiny mosquito is only two to six millimeter, but it can kill more than one million people every year.

What would happen if a blue whale have a fight with a small mosquito? Who do you think would win?

We can image that one day, a strong wind blows a swarm of mosquitoes off the coast and over the ocean. A blue whale is swimming nearby, feeding on krill. The blue whale slaps its tail and wipes out hundreds of the mosquitoes. The mosquitoes fall to the surface of the ocean. I quess we could say the blue whale wins.

Do you know? How could a tiny mosquito hurt a giant whale? When the whale opens its mouth to feed on krill, a sneaky mosquito took a bite on the whale's tongue. Uh-oh! It is carrying a dangerous virus.

Eventually the blue whale doesn’t die. But it gets really sick and feels awful for two weeks. It’s no fun being sick.

Who you say won this battle?

This book is both interesting and informative. I recommend it to everyone to read. Thank you very much.
