Humpback whales are large marine mammals known for their distinctive body shape and long pectoral fins. They can grow up to 60 feet long and weigh around 40 tons. These whales are famous for their complex songs, which they use during mating season. Humpback whales are found in oceans worldwide, migrating thousands of miles between feeding and breeding grounds.
These whales primarily feed on small fish and krill, using a technique called bubble net feeding to trap their prey. Humpback whales are also known for their acrobatic behaviors, such as breaching and tail slapping. Their populations have rebounded since being protected from whaling in the 1960s.
