Humpback whales have enormously long flippers (about 1/3 of its body length) and usually have many barnacles on their skin. They have a small dorsal fin toward the tail on their back that usually has a small bump on it, giving the whale its name.

Why do fish have no teeth?
Some whales have teeth (e.g. killer whales) and others have baleen (e.g. blue whales). Baleen works as a filter that catches small organisms as the water passes through it. Generally the whale will take in a large volume of water, close its mouth and force the water back out of the mouth (passing it through the baleen). What remains are the organisms the whale uses as its food resource.
