The largest animal we have known to ever live is alive right now, the blue whale.

In this particular case, it does. Whales are air breathing mammals.

Yes, but they spend most of their lives under water, only coming up briefly to breathe. Being under several atmospheres of pressure changes your air requirements.

Whether those requirements go up or down, I'm not sure.
