You are right, the Blue Whale is extremely large. It is so big it could only exist in the oceans. The pull of gravity would be too much on land. Even fresh water would lack the buoyancy and no fresh water lake would be big enough. It seems that nature likes to experiment with large animals in every line of evolution.
I would love to see the dinosaurs, but I would settle for the mammoths and mastodons. They are closer to our age and fit our current environment better.
I saw Mastodon and Mammoth skeletons in the Page Museum at the Los Angeles tar pits. It was an amazing feeling to stand there right in front of a Mastodon looking up at its head and seeing just hard large its tusks were.
