How large can a whale get?

Answer 1

Killer whales are not whales, they are Orca's, the largest members of the dolphin family.Females (cows): average 16-20' and 4000-8000 lbs (record:28' and 16,500 lbs)Males (bulls): average 20-24' and 8000-12,000 lbs (record: 32' and 22,000 lbs)

The male dorsal fin averages 6' tall.

The orca is the fastest marine mammal able to swim 35 mph.

A Killer whale weighs up to 1000 stone which is 14000 pounds, they are members of the dolphin family and their average length is 26-32ft

Males typically range from 6-8m (19-26 ft). They can weigh up to 6 tonnes.

Females are smaller, generally ranging from 5-7m (16-23 ft) and they may weigh from 4 to 5 tonnes.

The largest Killer Whale ever recorded was a male off the coast of Japan, measuring 9.8 m (32 ft) and weighed over 8 tonnes(17,636 lb).

Calves at birth weigh about 180 kg (350-500 lb) and are about 2.4 m long (6-8 ft).

The Killer whale's large size and strength make them among the fastest marine mammals, often reaching speeds in excess of 56 km/h (35 mph). The males dorsal fin is about double the size of the females.
