Humpback Whales

Humpback whales are large marine mammals known for their distinctive body shape and long pectoral fins. They are famous for their complex songs, which males use during mating seasons. These whales can grow up to 60 feet long and are found in oceans worldwide, migrating thousands of miles between feeding and breeding grounds. Humpbacks are often seen breaching and slapping the water with their fins or tails. They primarily feed on small fish and krill, using a technique called bubble net feeding. Humpback whales play a vital role in marine ecosystems and are a focus of conservation efforts due to past whaling.
