The correct answer is option 4, Blue Whale. Blue Whales are the largest animals on Earth, and their babies, called calves, are also the biggest baby animals produced by any species. A Blue Whale calf is born weighing around 2.7 metric tons (6,000 pounds) and is about 7.5 meters (25 feet) long. This is an enormous size compared to other animal babies. For comparison, a baby elephant, which is known for being quite large, weighs around 100 kilograms (220 pounds) at birth. Therefore, while camels, lions, and elephants all have relatively large babies, none of them produce babies as big as a Blue Whale.
