The blue whale holds the title of largest creature that has ever lived, and it may also be the most mysterious. The biggest blue whales can outweigh every player in Major League Baseball and the National Hockey League combined. Their mouths can gulp more than thirteen thousand gallons of seawater. A newborn can be over twenty feet long and gain nearly twenty tons in seven months - about eight pounds per hour. Blue whales emit more powerful sounds than any other animal on earth, though many of their vocalizations are beyond the range of human hearing.

Dan Bortolotti was born on July 27, 1969, in Toronto. Ontario, Canada.
Dan Bortolotti earned a Bachelor of Art in English, with honors, at the University of Waterloo in 1992.
Dan Bortolotti began his career as a journalist, spending more than 20 years as a magazine writer and editor and publishing nine nonfiction books. His 2004 book, Exploring Saturn, helps readers position the sixth planet within the solar system, then examines the ringed planet s unique characteristics, including its many moons. Tracing the known history of Saturn for young researchers, Bortolotti follows human understanding about the planet, from the ancient models of Ptolemy to the photographs captured by modern space probes such as the Hubble satellite, and even up to the preparations for the 2004 Cassini - Hygens probe's trip into the Saturnian planetary system. In Resource Links Heather Empey described Exploring Saturn as a “fantastic” resource that is “absolutely packed with information” useful to amateur astronomers. Noting the timeliness of Bortolotti ’s book, John Peters predicted in School Library Journal that “serious students and casual browsers alike will have trouble putting this down.”
Moving to earthbound studies, Bortolotti contributed Panda Rescue and Tiger Rescue to the “Firefly Animal Rescue” series, which focuses on wildlife trouble spots on our own planet. After profiling the animal under study, the author then discusses the factors that customs and others a result of an expanding human population. With the threat to each species recognized, some conservation measures have already been enacted, and Bortolotti includes an overview of these programs, while also focusing on ways in which Specific threats might also be averted. Praising Bortolotti’s “engaging writing style” as well as the photographs in each book, School Library Journal contributor Kathy Pichl dubbed the series “fascinating” and “readable.” In Booklist Gillian Engberg also noted the author's “accessible, lively language” and Bortolotti's inclusion of useful information and reference sources, while Linda Irvine praised both Tiger Rescue and Panda Rescue in a Resource Links review, citing their realistic depiction of animal species and the inclusion of information “on the cultural and economic issues around protection of species.”
Bortolotti eventually specialized in writing about personal finance, with a focus on low-cost index investing. He wrote several articles about personal finance for many Canadian magazines, including MoneySense (where he is a columnist and contributing editor), Canadian MoneySaver, and Financial Post. Bortolotti is also the author of The MoneySense Guide to the Perfect Portfolio, a complete guide to index investing in Canada, which was published in three editions. Dan also has his financial blog, called Canadian Couch Potato.
Dan Bortolotti was introduced to the PWL Capital's Toronto team while working on an article for MoneySense magazine in 2012. Inspired by their approach, he joined PWL the following year so he could work directly with investors.
