They cant move well on the shore and they cant catch animals (Very well... yes they can and they do but they come from the water onto the land). If you have ever seen a whale go on the shore you can see it cant move particularly well, in fact some whales die from the tides picking up and being washed up on the beach. They cant get into the water therefore no food. Its almost like throwing a person out in the water with no land and no boat, chances are they wont survive. Good question by the way.

What is the largest modern animal on Earth?

The largest animal alive to day is the Blue Whale. The Blue Whale is the largest animal EVER alive!

Although it is extremely big, it only eats small fish, like krill.
