you! A bowhead whale can grow up to 45-60 feet and can weigh 100,000 to
200,000 pounds!(75-100 Tons)
That's a "WOW" isn't it!
So the next question to think about is....what percentage of that length
is the head? Stay tuned for the answer and if we see any whales while
we're out on the Research Vessel Ukpik I'll be sure to take lots of
pictures and post them on our journal page.
Stay tuned Joshua and thanks again for the great question!
