First off Killer whales are odontocetes, or toothed whales, meaning literally "whales that have teeth", where as the blue whale and the humpback whale are balleen whales, instead of teeth, they have long rough strands of balleen in their mouth, made out of the same material as a human fingernail. Killer whales may get up to 25 feet long and weigh up to 12,000 pounds of more, males are usually larger than females. Humpback whales can get up to 60 feet long and weigh up to 83,000 pounds, females are usually larger. Blue Whales are the largest animals to have ever lived, even larger than the largest dinosaurs, they average 90-100 feet in length, and can weigh up to 400,000 pounds! Seeing as how both the Blue Whale and Humback Whales are Balleen whales, they feed primarily on microscopic organisms such as krill and plankton. Killer whales, depending on the population they belong to, will eat Salmom, Herring, Sharks, Birds, Seals, SeaLions, Turtles, Stingrays, and even other Whales and dolphins.

The difference between a Humpback and a Blue is that the Humpback has a large ridge on it back like an over-sized 'Camel Hump'! The Blue is also the biggest mammal on Earth. They eat like normal whales (Krill)! But the Blue also eats more than the Humpback. The Blue eats 40 million Krill a day! These are the main differences!
