If a blue whale was 90 feet long. The tongue of the blue whale would
be about 30 feet long, because the head of a blue is about one-third of
the whales length. The width of such a tongue would be about 8 feet. If
the tongue was lying flat on the ground then my best guess is that 3
elephants could fit. There would not be enough vertical room in the mouth
for the animals to fit in. Three elephants standing shoulder to shoulder
across the width , and along the length of that tongue would just fit.
That would be quite a feat given the untrainable nature of full grown
wild male African elephants.
