Best Answer

Courtship with humpbacks does not appear to be loving and warm caresses. The males compete for a female by breaching, peduncle throws (karate chops of the tail), head slaps, chin slaps, etc. In other words, they fight! The female may mate with several in the group, repeatedly is also possible. Once she feels she is successful she will head back to the feeding grounds. Humpback whales are thought to be very promiscuous.
