What is a "humpback whale"?
The humpback whale is a majestic marine mammal known for its massive size, unique appearance, and acrobatic behavior. They are known for their distinctive long pectoral fins, known as flippers, and their iconic habit of breaching, where they leap out of the water and crash back down. Humpback whales are known for their complex songs, which are believed to play a role in communication and mating behaviors. They are found in oceans and seas around the world, and undertake long migrations to feeding and breeding grounds. Humpback whales are filter feeders, using baleen plates in their mouths to capture and filter out small prey, such as krill and fish. They are considered a conservation success story, as their populations have recovered from historic whaling practices, and are now protected in many parts of the world.
