A whale's tail is called a fluke
The gestation period for a whale is about 17 months. When the baby whale (calf) is born, it comes out head or tail first. The whale is a mammal, not a fish. Being a mammal means that the calf is born live not hatched out of an egg. The calf is born in the water.
Calves are born in the water. Deliveries are usually tail-first, but head-first deliveries are also seen. The umbilical cord snaps during delivery.
A whale's tail, also known as a fluke, can vary in size depending on the species. On average, a whale's fluke can be between 10 to 12 feet wide.
