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
Killer whale Killer whale The killer whale or orca ("Orcinus orca") is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family, of which it is the largest member. Killer whales have a diverse diet, although individual populations often specialize in particular types of prey. Some feed exclusively on fish, while others hunt marine mammals such as seals and other species of dolphin. They have been known to attack baleen whale calves, and even adult whales. Killer whales are apex predators, as no animal preys on them. A cosmopolitan species, they can be found in each of the world's oceans in a variety
