No, they have baleen. Tooth buds do develop in fetuses, but these aren't retained.
The surface of the ocean down to 600 feet is called the Epipelagic Zone, commonly called the Sunlight Zone. Whales, being mammals, must breathe air and have a blowhole on top of their head for just that purpose. If they dive deeper than 600 feet, they would be getting into the Mesopelagic Zone (also known as the Twilight Zone) which goes to 3,000 feet below sea level.
Humpback whales thrive in most of the world's oceans and seas, as they migrate as much as 16,000 miles per year.
Check out the related link I've listed below, for more information.
They breathe every 7-15 minutes by blowing. They breach for what ever reason, suspected to monitor activities on surface. Slap their fins as a form of communication or to force them to go down into the ocean.
Swim and eat and play. Whales are air breathers who swim under water, so they need to surface sometimes to breathe. But some whales can dive to depths of thousands of feet, where there is no light, and they navigate and search for food by sonar rather than by sight.
None. Whaling humpback whales is banned.
Man has severely affected humpback whale populations by killing them for years. By the 19th century, many nations (USA in particular), were hunting the animal heavily in the Atlantic Ocean, and to a lesser extent in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. This widespread hunting sharply reduced whale populations.
It is estimated that during the 20th century, at least 200,000 humpbacks were taken, reducing the global population by over 90%, with North Atlantic populations estimated to have dropped to as low as 700 individuals. To prevent extinction, the International Whaling Commission banned commercial humpback whaling in 1966. By that time the population had been reduced to around 5,000. That ban is still in force
humpback whale eats around 5000 krill one day.
Humpback whales can be white, black, black on the back and white on the stomach with black dots, and I'm pretty sure they can be blue. Under their arms, they have pink skin, kind of like a dog.
Beluga whales mainly eat krill and small fish,crab, squid, and other small crustaceans.
It is still a mystery to why humpback whales sing. One theory is that it could attract a possible mate. IT IS CERTAINLY A MYSTERY ON WHAT THEY SING ABOUT!
There are so many different kinds of whales, and some we know so little about, that there is no actual answer for that question. The whales are all so different when it come to size and weight. Here are some sizes and weights for some whales:
Orca (Killer Whale): 30 feet long, 8,000 to 12,000 pounds
Fin Whale: 82 feet long, 50 tons on average
Blue whale: 100 feet long, 200 tons
The humpback whale is said to be the fourth largest. Up to fifty feet and weighing ninety thousand pounds.
Humpback tails (flukes) are measured in widths. From median notch (center) to base of tail is usually about 4-5 feet high depending on age of animal. Flukes of adults also depend on age. We see flukes from 7-10 (calves) to over 20' across. Width of tails are about 1/3 the animals' length.
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.
A baby humpback whale drinks 130 gallons of water a day WOW!!!!!
I do not think the baby drinks that much salt water, and if you meant milk, that would be over a half a ton of high fat (40 - 50%) milk per day. Since the mother does not eat in the birthing area for at least a couple of months, this would probably kill the mother within two months at that rate of milk production! Do you probably mean 130 pounds of milk per day?
Adult Sperm whales are too large to be attacked or killed by any animal. However the killer whale or Orca as they are more commonly known is known to prey upon youngsters and stray calf's. No animal is large enough to attack and kill a full grown sperm whale.
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.
Somewhere between 74,000
Humpbacks are widespread in almost every ocean in the world. They are found in good numbers in the following oceans.
Debris and Land Run-off can affect dolphins by making them sick, killing them or getting them stuck in places where humans willl fish for them.
Land Run-off can do the same for whales and any other sea critter too.
also it can get stuck and suffocate them
Dolphins have been effected in many ways as such; when people litter it gets into waterways and the dolphins and other animalschoke or smaller animals like birds get suffocated when the plastic of soda cans gets stuck around their neck. Also many dolphins get shot and killed for their fat or meat by fishermen. These fishermen then sell the meat and make a profit. this hold a major contribution on why dolphins are so endangered
Humpback whales are a charcoal gray color, with a dark bluish hue in some light. They have a white underbelly.
