All the data I've reviewed and researched about the Humpback Whale indicates that the young or "calf" knows how to swim when they are delivered into the ocean during birth. The mother's or cow's main duties are to protect and feed her young/calf, for the next five to seven months until weaning.

What eats the humpback?

The humpback whale is a beautiful creature. Because of its enormous size, there are very few predators that prey on this whale. One predator would be humans. I hope people don't hunt this magnificent beast but in some parts of the world, I'm sure whale meat is a delicacy. Now I'm not sure about this one but, I do know that giant squid have been known to attack sperm whales. They might also try for a bite of humpback whale. Like I said, not much can hunt the humpback whale. The babies are more at risk because they are smaller. An unsuspecting baby could wander from its mom and get eaten by killer whales, sharks, humans and other predators.
