The humpback whale is an enormous creature; it is as big as a school bus! It is known both for the howling sounds it makes and the amazing acrobatic abilities.
Humpbacks feed primarily in summer and live off their fat reserves during winter. They use many innovative methods for feeding. One such method is called bubble net feeding.
A group of whales will swim in a shrinking circle blowing bubbles below a school of prey. The shrinking ring of bubbles will encircle the school and confine it in an ever-smaller cylinder. This way, they can swallow thousands of fish in a single gulp.
Mother humpbacks swim close to their young ones, often touching one another with their flippers. Humpbacks roam all over the world and the place where they could be located depends on the time of the year.
