What was or is the biggest known animal?

Depends what you mean by "biggest". It could be the tallest, largest, widest, heaviest, etc.

But to answer your question, the LARGEST and HEAVIEST animal that has ever existed & still extant is the Blue Whale (Balaenoptera musculus). The maximum weight ever recorded was 190 short tons. They are usually 30 meters (98 ft) in length. They eat up to 4 tons of krill everyday. Thats like 4 average cars!

The largest/heavist terrestrial or land animal is the African elephant (Loxodonta africana), weighing 10 metric tons (12,130lbs) and measuring up to 13 ft at the shoulders.

By considerable measure, the largest known animal on Earth is the blue whale. Mature blue whales can measure anywhere from 75 feet (23 m) to 100 feet (30.5 m) from head to tail, and can weigh as much as 150 tons (136 metric tons).

The biggest animal ever to exist is the blue whale.

Blue Whale is biggest mammal and elephant is biggest land animal.

Blue whales are so big they are the biggest creature ever to have lived on earth - even bigger than the biggest dinosaurs

The books should indicate the Blue Whale is the largest know animal to have lived on earth.
