Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust Global distribution, except for northern Arctic Ocean and Mediterannean Sea Acoustic disturbance, pollution, ship strikes At up to 33 metres in length, the blue whale is thought to be the largest animal ever to have lived on Earth. Calves can measure seven metres in length at birth. Upon surfacing, the splashguard in front of the blowhole is normally the first area to break the surface, which is followed by a powerful, columnar blow ten metres tall. The relatively small, curved dorsal fin is seen well after the blow as it is positioned far down the back of the long, tapered body. The huge tail fluke is often raised out of the water when the animal dives. Blue whales are actually a mottled light grey colour, but they appear blue under the water.
