Humpback whales are majestic giants, easily recognized by their long pectoral fins and spectacular breaching displays. These ocean wanderers migrate thousands of kilometers between feeding and breeding grounds each year. Covered in barnacles and often trailed by scars, each humpback tells a story of survival. Their haunting whalesongs, sung primarily by males, can travel vast distances underwater and are still not fully understood. Once nearly wiped out by commercial whaling, humpback populations are now rebounding due to global protection efforts. While their numbers are increasing, they still face threats from ship strikes, entanglement, and ocean noise, making continued conservation essential.
