Description
Humpback whales are known for their vocalizations and unique feeding strategies, such as bubble-net feeding.
Humpback whales have distinctive markings on their tails, which are used for individual identification.
Humpbacks are known for their acrobatic displays, including breaching, where they launch themselves out of the water and fall back with a large splash.
The reasons behind breaching are not fully understood, but it may be used for communication, to remove parasites, or to get a better view of their surroundings.
Humpback whales are migratory and can travel thousands of miles each year, traveling between their feeding grounds in colder waters and their breeding grounds in warmer waters.
Humpback whales have a lifespan of around 50 years and are considered a threatened species due to past commercial whaling and other human activities.
