The scientific name of the blue whale is Balaenoptera musculus
Explanation:
What is Balaenoptera musculus?
The Balaenoptera musculus is a marine mammal belonging to the baleen whale suborder Mysticeti. Reaching a maximum confirmed length of 29.9 meters and a weight of 173 tonnes, it is the largest animal known to have ever existed.
Most people call them by their common name, blue whale, while scientists use the scientific name, Balaenoptera musculus. The scientific name of each species is made up of a genus name (Balaenoptera) and a specific species name (musculus).
What does Balaenoptera musculus mean?
Its academic name is Balaenoptera musculus. Balaenoptera which designates genus is a combination of two Latin words, Balaena (meaning whale) and "pteron" (meaning fin). It thus means a whale having a dorsal fin so as to distinguish from balaena (meaning whale without dorsal fin).
