Whales (Ocean Mob) + their babies

Whales would be a great addition to Minecraft. They match the theme of the Minecraft (which also has other ocean mobs obviously, like dolphins, turtles and fish) and they could also have similar attributes. Just like dolphins, they could generally spawn in everywhere except frozen oceans, although because their size is larger, they might spawn more into the ocean, farther from the coastline. Generally, they should be rarer then dolphins.

For health and drops, etc.:
Again, because of their sheer size, they should have a decent amount of hearts. Generally, 30 hearts or more should be okay because they aren't meant to be a good food source.
Their drops could differ. Generally, maybe 1-3 raw cod (like how dolphins drop one), and maybe a special item like blubber (used for fuel in furnaces or candles, maybe?), or an already in game item like prismarine shards. Looting should affect the drops. Other items from the ocean could appear too.

Their size should be rather large (not gigantic like an ender dragon, obviously) but something more like 3*8 to 5*10 (That might be a bad size, obviously its up to the devs. Babies should be smaller (half the size or less). Additionally, to breed whales for babies, kelp could be a good idea, although cooked salmon (like how dolphins do it, again) could work.

They shouldn't be straight up hostile mobs unless they're killer whales (if you add those). They should either be passive or maybe neutral so that if you attack their babies you get a nudge.

    I like it! But you should have to hit the killer whales to be hostile .

    Killer whales are a kind of dolphin, and a such are horrible creatures that will torture seals to death and not even eat them, or surgically remove a shark's liver, eat it, and leave the rest of the shark to die a painful death and rot. Also, they have been recorded to eat people. 

    Whales, such as the blue whale, are compassionate, beautiful, majestic creatures, that will rescue baby seals from orcas by flipping upside down and allowing the seal to climb on top of them. Unlike dolphins, they do this for no benefit to themselves, simply out of the kindness of their hearts. Like basking sharks, they do not eat fish, and will simply feed on plankton. If they sink your boat, it is by accident. They can't help it if they create wakes that can capsize ships just by swimming by, or can accidentally sink our ships by breaching (jumping out of the water) to say hello, or if their farts are so big they can sink ships...

    Whales deserve to be in Minecraft, the racist, capitalist, psychopathic, drunkard, attention-hogging mini-whales that are called dolphins do not. (this is based mainly on second-hand (or third-hand) accounts of scientific fact.)

    The tamed whales allow to build on a little house, and the player move with him.
