And now it’s time for Manic Mystery Monday so pop your thinking caps on and teachers dial 1420 when you have heard the entire question and your class has an answer:

Question: As the largest creature on Earth, which creature has a tongue which can weigh more than an elephant?

Answer:  A blue whale.

Class:  Latz

Note: The full-grown blue whale is so heavy that just its tongue can weigh more than an entire elephant- that means that it can be heavier than 7,000 kilograms!
