NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (KABC) -- Whale watchers were treated to a jaw-dropping sight when they spotted giant blue whales swimming and feeding off the coast of Newport Beach on Monday.

Blue whales are the largest animals that have ever lived on earth -- even bigger than dinosaurs.

The whales' breath shoots out of their nostrils and can go more than 30 feet in the air.

There have been consistent sightings for the last five days.
