There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Hello everyone
Those documents provide very useful informations on large specimens of killer whales
http://brage.bibsys.no/xmlui/bitstream/h...9_N_06.pdf
http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article...ne.0026738 see table S5
http://swfsc.noaa.gov/publications/CR/1984/8470.PDF see page 126
http://swfsc.noaa.gov/publications/TM/SW...SC-364.PDF see page 16
http://www.marinemammal.org/wp-content/p...dymass.pdf

 
To my knowledge, the Bigg and Wolman equation ( https://circle.ubc.ca/bitstream/handle/2...059944.pdf ) is the only one to predict body mass based on TL. For example, the largest animal mentioned (32 feet=9.75m) would weigh more than 10 metric tons
