How small is the smallest whale?

The smallest whale in the world is the Dwarf Sperm Whale; a member of the Sperm whale family that reaches a maximum of 2.7 meters long and a maximum of about 272 kilograms. This whale is found in many of the world's oceans, but is elusive to the extent that we don't know what their world wide population is. One of the reasons that we know so little about this whale is that until the 1960′s it was thought to be the same as the Pygmy Sperm Whale, and although they are similar, they are definitely not the same whale.
