Just as with other mammals, when you feed, or engorge yourself, you will gain weight, and with humpback and other whales, weight gain is in the form of blubber, which serves as an insulation, but also is caloric storage for them and gives energy. Those whales who migrate live off their blubber during the long periods of no food intake, which could be 6 months or more, depending on the whale.
What else can I help you with?
Do Humpback whales migrate to the Hawaiian islands during the winter to feed on the large populations of krill in Hawaiian waters?
No. Humpback whales come to Hawaii after feeding on krill in the North Pacific during the summer. They come to the warm waters of Hawaii to give birth. The whales do not feed during the winter in Hawaii. They use their stored fat to live through the season, focussing on their babies (and mating!).
How does blubber help a humpback whale?
Blubber is fat. Fat provides insulation to any body. Wales have plenty of fatty blubber that insulates their bodies. With the body insulated, their internal workings are able to maintain a constant temperature as the outside temperature is not an issue.
What do baby humpback whales eat?
Humpback whales are carnivores that eat tiny crustaceans (krill, superba, copepods, etc.), plankton, and small fish (including herring, mackerel, capelin, and sandeel) from the water. They are gulpers: they swim then gulp a mouthful of plankton or fish. An average-sized humpback whale will eat around 5,000 pounds of plankton, krill and small fish each day during the feeding season in cold waters (about 120 days). They eat twice a day.
What is the name of the white humpback whale that is seen in whale migration season an the gold coast?
She goes by "Rita".
Where do Humpback whales go to breed?
Humpback whales typically breed in warm tropical waters near the equator. The main breeding grounds for North Pacific humpback whales are in Hawaii, while those for North Atlantic humpback whales are in the Caribbean. During breeding season, males compete for the attention of females by singing complex songs.
