Subject: Is the blue whale the largest animal on earth ever?

I'm a docent at the Seymour Discovery Center at Long Marine Lab in Santa 
Cruz. We have on display the complete skeleton of a blue whale. Some of us 
maintain that the blue whale is the largest animal on earth (probably 
true) and that it is- at over 100 feet long and over 100 tons- the largest 
animal on earth ever- bigger than any dinosaur yet discovered.
Is this correct? We can't seem to find definitive information on this.
Thanks,
Patrick

I just read your information on this topic. What was the largest dinosaur 
yet discovered?
