Description
Humpback whale lunge feeding in the Channel Islands National Park. Humpback whales are a species of baleen whale known for their distinctive songs, acrobatic displays, and long migrations between their summer feeding grounds in high latitudes and their winter breeding and calving grounds in tropical waters. They can grow up to 50 feet (15 meters) long and weigh up to 40 tons (36 metric tonnes), and are found in oceans around the world. Humpback whales were once heavily hunted but are now protected by international law, and their populations are slowly recovering.
