US English pattern by schrahki. Includes step-by-step pictures.

Blue whales are the largest known mammals that have ever lived on our Earth. Even though they are so big (up to about 33m!) and should be hard to overlook, there's still so much left to discover that we just don't know about them yet. My favorite fact about them is that the markings on their backs can identify a blue whale individual like a human fingerprint! The name Hope is inspired by the famous blue whale skeleton of the same name in the Natural History Museum of London.
