It is reputed to be as wide as 17 football (soccer) pitches which is approx 2.7 miles wide, this is pretty wide, it is the equivelant of 3 hospitals with car parking for 3,000, or 2 substantial civic buildings with politicians ego's thrown in.

brattybard, what HAVE you been smoking.
Blue whales are actually quite sleek looking compared to some other whales. At the widest part, probably only around 15 foot.

Just as wide as their flukes or tail fins which could be as wide as 27 feet on a 110 ft long animal.

Maximum length: 27m (89ft) males / 33.5m (110ft) females.
A blue whale laying on its side would be 10 feet (3m) high and the width across its flukes (flippers) about 20 feet (6m)
