Not anywhere near as long a time as the elephant, which has the longest gestation period of all, which is 645 days or about 21 months! Yuk!

10 to fourteen months, depending on the whale species.
Killer whales are 517 days. (13 to 16 months on another source)
Grey whales 13.5 months.
Blue whale 11-12 months.
Baleen whale 12 months
Minke whale 10 months
Brydes whale 11-12 months

All way too long!
