The largest I have ever seen was an African elephant in the local zoo many years ago. I have since boycotted said zoo due to its mistreatment of animals, so I don't know whether it still has the same species of elephants now.

Probably humpback whales while riding on the Alaska ferry.

Probably an orca at Marineland as a kid.

(Also somewhere I boycott because of their treatment of animals)

Humpback or Southern Right Whale. I'm not sure which is the biggest of the 2 species.

ETA: Google isn't very clear about it but it seems Southern Right is a bit bigger.

humpback whales for me as well.

Another vote for humpback whales!

Me too. What a sight! I was standing at the beach during humpback whale migration season wondering if I'd see anything that day, when all of a sudden . . .

I guess, for me, it would be an elephant too… but at a circus.
