These whales are very acrobatic especially the babies which are often found breaching and slapping the water.
Males produce a complex song that lasts for 10-20mins and can be repeated hour after hour.
They feed in summer in polar waters feeding off their fat reserves in the winter and often migrate up to 16,000 miles each year to tropical and sub tropical waters to breed and give birth in the winter.
Like other whales, humpbacks are a victim of the whaling industry and have almost been hunted to the point of extinction.
