The fin whale

...is the second longest animal in the world and second largest rorqual after the blue whale, growing to over 27 meters long and weighing nearly 74 tonnes.

The American naturalist Roy Chapman Andrews called the fin whale "the greyhound of the sea... for its beautiful, slender body is built like a racing yacht and the animal can surpass the speed of the fastest ocean steamship....
