feet. And that's before it is born. When
the whale is born, it takes another year for it to grow to a length of
65 feet a nd a weight of 65 tons (one ton
per foot), equaling 2.3 tons a month.

foot long animatronic models. Four models
were created, and were so realistic that after release of the film, US fishing authorities publically criticised the film
makers for getting too close to whales in
the wild. The scenes involving these whales were shot in a high school swimming pool.
