Explaining exactly how much a whale weighs is quite difficult to answer because there are currently about 80 – 90 different cetacean species, and each species is a different size and weight.

On average, the dwarf whale grows to be around 9 ft. long and, when fully matured, will weigh between 400 – 600 pounds.

In comparison, the blue whale (the world’s largest living animal) can grow to a length of over 100 ft. and weigh more than 150 tons.
