Humpback Whales


With long fore-flippers outstretched like wings, humpbacks lift their bodies above the water's surface into the air. Humpbacks have large pleated throats and baleen plates to filter small fish and other animals from the water. A humpback whale's tail is so wide that you wouldn't fit it in your bedroom! The shapes and color pattern of a humpback whale's tail are as distinctive as a person's fingerprint.
