      The larger mammal that exists now is Balaenoptera musculus, better known as the blue whale. It is even thought to be the largest mammel that has ever existed.

      The blue whale is the heaviest mammal to have ever lived.

      I’m going to say that I agree with Iain and Leo. You never know what fossils a palaeontologist might dig up in the future though 🙂

      Is it the blue whale? I’m not sure.
