The largest Dolphin is the Killer Whale (Orca) which is actually not a whale but a giant dolphin.
Males can range from 6-8 metres long (19-26 ft) and weigh in excess of 6 tonnes; it has been reported that especially large males have reached nearer 8 tonnes (17,636 lb). Females are smaller, growing from 5-7 m (16-23 ft) and a weight of about 4 to 5 tonnes. However, an adult Orca's weight can be anywhere from 2,585 to 7,257 kg (5,700 to 16,000 lb), although males are heavier than females. The largest Orca ever recorded was a male off the coast of Japan, measuring 9.8 m (32 ft) and weighed over 8 tonnes (17,636 lb).
