Blue whales are so massive they've evolved a biological cheat code! With 100 trillion cells (compared to our measly 30 trillion), you'd expect cancer rates through the roof since more cells = more mutation chances. But nope! These ocean giants have extra copies of tumor-suppressing genes that activate like an elite cancer SWAT team. It's called Peto's Paradox - large animals somehow dodge cancer despite all mathematical probability saying they shouldn't. That whale is literally using tumors to destroy tumors... nature's ultimate reverse card!
