The largest heart ever seen has gone on display at Toronto’s Royal Ontario Museum.

The organ belonged to one of two blue whales whose carcasses washed up on the shores of trout river in newfoundland and labrador province three years ago.

The organ measures 5 foot by 4 foot by 4 foot and would have weighed at least 400 pounds before removal.

Its discovery is helping Mammalian scientists understand more about the blue whale’s physiology.
