*** About Humpback Whales: Humpback whales, scientifically known as Megaptera novaeangliae, are large marine mammals notable for their musical songs and acrobatic breaches. Adults can reach lengths of up to 60 feet and weigh as much as 40 tons. These whales are primarily found in polar and tropical waters, migrating up to 16,000 miles annually between feeding and breeding grounds. They have distinctive body shapes with long pectoral fins and knobbly heads. Humpback whales play a critical role in their ecosystems, impacting marine biodiversity through their feeding behavior, which can help regulate the populations of their prey and maintain the health of the ocean environment.
