how big are blue whales

[brawburd]

"An average blue whale is between 75 and 80 feet (23 to 24.5 m) long, and weighs about 110 tons (99,800 kg). Females are larger than males of the same age, the largest perhaps weighing as much as 150 tons (136,000 kg.)" from this site - http://www.acsonline.org/factpack/bluewhl.htm

Strange how things stick in the mind. The tongue of a Blue Whale weighs 3 tons! It just seems to get things into proportion.
