Best Answer

A young humpback (calf) would fear orca, the main predator of the calves. Orca grow to over 30 feet and are quite the ambitious hunter, seen taking grey whale calves with some planning and quick execution. They love to eat the tongues! Adult humpbacks have very large and heavy tails (flukes), which are their main weapons, and they use them efficiently, smacking the water or perhaps attempting to hit any predator (including sharks in breeding grounds) coming close to them or their calves.
