A Fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) swims in the Mediterranean Sea. Next to the blue whale, the fin whale is the second largest mammal in the world, at over 60 ft. 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."
