King of the deep
The largest whales ever measured by scientists are around 133 meters (110 feet) long, but most are between 70 and 90 feet (around 21-27 meters). A whale can be compared to the length of 26 standard baseball bats in a row, or to the equivalent of 15 adult men, each measuring around 1 meter.
