...Flying Whales

Get a whole buncha scientists together to discuss possibilities of extraterrestrial life and what do you get? This:

"Blue Moon" is a planet more like Earth, but with much more oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, allowing both plants and animals to grow bigger than on Earth. The air is extremely dense, allowing all sorts of animals to fly, such as so-called sky whales, which have nine-metre wingspans and fly using echolocation. They hover above thick "pagoda" forests, which stand at an astonishing 1,000 meters.

This article, which is pretty cool (definitely makes you think), is about an exhibition from London that's opening soon in Montreal. It talks about the potential for life on two specific planets that are relatively close to the make-up of Earth.
