Mature males: 8-9 meters (24-29 feet). They weigh on average 10-11 tons, and their dorsal fins are up to 1.8 meters in length. Mature females: 7-8 meters (21-24 feet). On average they weigh 7-8 tons, and their dorsal fins are .9 meters (half of mature males).
Killer Whales vary in size from eco-type to eco-type, but on average the females are about 1,200-10,00 lbs, and about 14-20 feet long; the males are a little larger, at about 10,000-18,000 lbs, and about 20-32 feet long.

As a side note the ones in captivity generally are on the smaller side of the ranges given above.
