Vegetable is a culinary term. Its definition has no scientific value and is somewhat arbitrary and subjective. All parts of herbaceous plants eaten as food by humans, whole or in part, are generally considered vegetables. Mushrooms, though belonging to the biological kingdom, fungi, are also commonly considered vegetables. Since vegetable is not a botanical term, there is no contradiction in referring to a plant part as a fruit while also being considered a vegetable.
Killer whales are the largest extant members of the dolphin family. Males typically range from 6 to 8 metres (20 to 26 ft) long and weigh in excess of 6 tonnes (5.9 long tons; 6.6 short tons).
This whale on average grows to be around 9 ft. long and when fully matured will weigh between 400 â 600 pounds. In comparison the blue whale (the worlds largest living animal) can grow to a length of over 100 ft. and weigh in excess of 150 tons. The blue whales heart alone can weigh as much if not more than a fully grown dwarf sperm whale. In fact some of the largest blue whales have had hearts that weigh as much as 2,500 lbs., which is equivalent to the weight of a small car.
