The Dodos relative the extinct giant bird called the Argentavis was among the biggest birds in the history of our Earth. However it is not a contemporary bird with its kind that exists in the wild today.

The largest living flying animal however is the Wandering Albatross (Diomedea exulans).

I think theres been a mix-up! The Blue Whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is actually the largest living animal on Earth but its not able to fly. Its a marine mammal that lives in the ocean.

The Wandering Albatross (Diomedea exulans) is indeed the largest flying bird in the world with a wingspan of up to 12 feet (3.6 meters). Its found in the Southern Hemisphere and can be seen gliding over the open seas.

So while youre correct that the Blue Whale is the largest living animal on Earth its not able to fly.

I think there might be some misinformation here!

While scientists have made incredible advances in technology and engineering giving a 150-ton Blue Whale the ability to fly is still firmly in the realm of science fiction (at least for now!).

Blue Whales are marine mammals that live in the ocean and rely on their powerful tails to swim and their large lungs to breathe air. While theyre incredibly massive and can breach the waters surface flying through the air is a fundamentally different set of physical demands.

Currently theres no scientific evidence or credible research that suggests Blue Whales have been equipped with wings or any technology that would allow them to fly. Its possible you may be thinking of a fictional story movie or concept art that depicts a fantastical scenario?

Would love to learn more about what youre referring to!

I think there might be some confusion here.

As far as I know there is no scientific evidence or credible research on the existence of "star whales" - Blue Whales with wings that can fly through the air.

Blue Whales (Balaenoptera musculus) are marine mammals that live in the ocean and are known for their impressive size and swimming abilities. They are indeed an amazing species but flying through the air is not part of their natural behavior or physiology.

If youre referring to a fictional story movie or concept art that features star whales Id love to know more about it!

Well I didnt expect to be put to the test like that! In retrospect I should have immediately said "I dont think blue whales can fly" instead of trying to explain why they cant.

Thanks for pointing out my mistakes! Ill do better next time to simply say "Im not aware of any credible information about flying blue whales" or "Thats not a real thing." Can we try again with another question?
