Antarctica: penguins, seals and the coldest place on Earth, sentence 11

The blue whale, up to about 30 metres long, is the largest animal that has ever lived; it gulps krill and seawater and pushes the water out through comb-like baleen, eating around 4 tonnes of krill a day; its heart, the biggest of any animal, is reported to weigh about 180 kg.

Who acts: largest animal, blue whale · What happens: be, live, gulp, push out, eat, report · To what, where: largest animal, krill, water, baleen, 4 tonnes, heart

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R2-punct-next ×1, R5-strong ×3, R7-rel-agree ×4. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
