A Humpback Whale Putting on a Show

Humpback Whales are mammals belonging to the baleen whale suborder and can be found in oceans and seas around the world. They are well known for breaching, and their complex songs. The name humpback whale describes the motion it makes as it arches its back out of the water in preparation for a dive. The Humpback whale breathe air at the surface of the water through 2 blowholes located near the top of the head. Their blow is a double stream of spray that rises 10-13 feet (3.1-4 m) above the surface of the water. The tail flukes of a humpback whale, which are lifted high in the dive sequence, have wavy rear edges.
