Humpback whales migrate through Pacific and Atlantic ocean waters, mating and calving in warm equatorial waters and migrating to cooler waters to feed each winter. The humpback whale is perhaps the best known of the 20 whale species that can be found in U.S. waters. The endangered humpback whale is famous for its haunting songs and photogenic breaching displays. It migrates through all the world's oceans, summering in Arctic waters and wintering in the tropics. This page conmtains a map and a passage on the migration habits of the humpback whale.
