The humpback whale is a baleen whale and a rorqual whale that sings amazing songs. It performs complex and cooperative feeding techniques.
Humpbacks are acrobats of the ocean, breaching and slapping the water.
They live in pods and have 2 blowholes. The name humpback describes the motion it makes as it arches its back out of the water in preparation for a dive. The females are slightly larger than males, as with all baleen whales. These markings are unique to each individual whale, like a fingerprint. The humpback's skin is freqently scarred and may have patches covered with diatoms.
