"The Whaling Walls are large outdoor murals by the artist Robert Wyland, featuring images of life-size gray whales, breaching humpback whales, blue whales, and other sea life. Whaling Walls are created by invitation of the communities, institutions, and building owners of the structures on which they are painted. The one hundredth and final Whaling Wall was painted in Beijing in 2008." (

It shows an adult female and her calf “spyhopping” which means the mammal maintains its head above water for up to several minutes. The mural is 52 feet long by 58 feet high. It was dedicated on September 5, 1994." (
