Brain size area in women, corresponding to spatial versus language specializations. Small studies have attempted to link brain volume with functional measures such as P300 auditory evoked potentials but finding no association. Studies attempting to related sibling differences in IQ to differences in brain volume are hampered by relatively small sample sizes and the noisy nature of such difference scores, yielding weak evidence for cross-trait cross-sib correlations. The largest brain is that of the sperm whale, weighing about , and killer whales, weighing about . An elephant's brain weighs just over and a bottlenose dolphin's . Brain size tends to vary according
Whale lungs can hold about 5,000 litres of air. Spout shapes differ among species, which facilitates identification. The heart of a whale weighs about 180–200 kg. It is 640 times bigger than a human heart. The heart of the blue whale is the largest of any animal, and the walls of the arteries in the heart have been described as being "as thick as an iPhone 6 Plus is long". All whales have a thick layer of blubber. In species that live near the poles, the blubber can be as thick as 11 inches. This blubber can help with buoyancy (which
