Speaker
Did you know that blue is actually the rarest color found in nature? So today we're bringing you a few fun facts about blue animals. Fact number one, the blue whale, which is actually more grayish blue than blue, is literally the largest animal that has ever existed on earth.
00:01:22
Speaker
Bigger than any dinosaur. And here's fact number two. lobsters aren't always that reddish brown we're used to seeing. In extremely rare cases, one in two million, lobsters can actually be bright blue.
00:01:36
Speaker
Fact number three. The blue jay is a very common bird here in the U.S., right? You see them everywhere. But despite their popularity, not a single U.S. state has claimed them as their state bird.
00:01:50
Speaker
Meanwhile, the cardinal is the state bird for seven different states, so people are clearly playing favorites.
