Humpback Whales

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.

The humpback is a predator, taking krill and small schooling fish, such as herring, salmon, capelin and sand lance as well as mackerel, pollock and haddock in the North Atlantic. Krill and copepods have been recorded from Australian and Antarctic waters. Humpbacks hunt by direct attack or by stunning prey by hitting the water with pectoral fins or flukes

Generally in fresh water.

The island Orango, Bijagós Islands, located 60 kilometers (38 miles) off the coast of mainland Guinea-Bissau, has a sizable colony of saltwater hippopotamuses.

there are none bacause they don't live in Antarctica

The flippers on humpback whales are larger than any other whale... (on the internet it said this... but not sure....) But probably the blue whales have larger _______ than any other whale because blue whales are the largest mammal so far... Hope this helped... (bb_sweetlollipop)

Humpback whales mate and give birth in warm, tropical waters during winter and early spring after an eleven to twelve month gestational period.

First off Killer whales are odontocetes, or toothed whales, meaning literally "whales that have teeth", where as the blue whale and the humpback whale are balleen whales, instead of teeth, they have long rough strands of balleen in their mouth, made out of the same material as a human fingernail. Killer whales may get up to 25 feet long and weigh up to 12,000 pounds of more, males are usually larger than females. Humpback whales can get up to 60 feet long and weigh up to 83,000 pounds, females are usually larger. Blue Whales are the largest animals to have ever lived, even larger than the largest dinosaurs, they average 90-100 feet in length, and can weigh up to 400,000 pounds! Seeing as how both the Blue Whale and Humback Whales are Balleen whales, they feed primarily on microscopic organisms such as krill and plankton. Killer whales, depending on the population they belong to, will eat Salmom, Herring, Sharks, Birds, Seals, SeaLions, Turtles, Stingrays, and even other Whales and dolphins.

whales always know where they are in the sea. also they're migratory, that means they swim great distances each day.

Adult narwhals have an approximate 4 in. layer of blubber under their skin.

The gray whale and the grey whale are the same whale however, depending on if you are American or English there is a different spelling. UK English uses the spelling "grey" while American English uses the spelling "gray".

Adult humpback whales are usually between 12 to 16 meters in length. That is approximately 40 to 50 feet in length. They also weigh approximately 36000 kilograms or 79000 pounds. They are one of the large species of Whales.

Beluga whales do not breach.

No, humpback whales only eat plankton and occasionally small fish. They have baleen instead of teeth so they wouldn't be able to bite at the whale shark. Whale sharks also eat plankton and sometimes small fish.

For years researchers believed 600' to be their limit. Several years ago, competing males in Hawaii dove to 800'! We are certain that NO one knows their limit. We only know what they have shown us.

People used to kill whales for their blubber, which was used in many applications, but primarily for lamps before the light bulb was invented.

They were also hunted to much smaller extent for food. The Eskimo still hunt a few for food each year, (although they are not allowed by law to sell any of their whale catch). The Japanese, however, still commercially hunt whales for food.

Definitely yes. Adult Male Sperm Whales can be as long as 20 meters. The average size is around 17 meters and they weigh 40 tonnes or more.

Adult Female Sperm whales are on an average 11 meters long and weigh around 14 tonnes.

A sperm whale is probably 10 times larger and 4 or 5 times heavier than an Elephant.

Bumpy and wrinkly i think. Even though ive never touched one, you can tell bye pictures.

Depends on the type of whale. Humpbacks live about 125 years. Gray whales live 30 to 60 years. Blue whales live between 80-90 years. Fin whales about 85 years. Minke whales 40-50 years. The sperm whale about 75 years.

Most whales live to be 50 years.

whales can live to be many different ages.most live to be more than 50 years old.

Some Blue Whales have been known to live as long as 80 years. It is believed that they probably live much longer, but there are no accurate records going back beyond the 1920's.

It depends on the species, but most live to around 30-50 years. There are two big exception, though. Killer whale females can get significantly older. A good example of this is J2, a wild killer whale female. She's born in 1911. which makes her almost 100 years at the time writing! The Bowhead whale is the longest living mammal on the planet. One animal was caught, healthy and all, and was estimated to be a little over 210 years old at the time of capture! They established this number by conducting tests on the chemicals in the whale's eye.

The average whale lives to be around 100-150 years old. Of course only if it is lucky enough to live that long. Whales go through huge battles for food or for females during mating season so they can get wounded easily which sometimes leads to a shorter life.

Bubble nets are something that humpback whales are famous for. They create a circle of bubbles around a school of fish, the fish get confused and don't swim out of the net of bubbles, and the whales eat them up!

Humpback whales are also famous for producing the most sophisticated 'songs'.

They can also do more acrobatic leaps than other whales.

Humpback whales breathe through a pair of blowholes located on the tops of their heads. When they surface, they expel air and water vapor forcefully through these blowholes, creating a visible spout. After exhaling, they inhale fresh air before diving back underwater. This breathing process is essential for their survival, as they can hold their breath for up to 30 minutes while diving.

Adult humpback whales are usually between 12 to 16 meters in length. That is approximately 40 to 50 feet in length. They also weigh approximately 36000 kilograms or 79000 pounds. They are one of the large species of Whales.

Though they are very large, it is not the largest. Blue whale is the largest in the world.

the weight of a hump back whale is 177metric tons
