Here’s 5 fun facts about Humpback Whales:
1. Humpback whales in the Salish Sea are known for their playful behaviour, often slapping their massive tails on the water’s surface, a behaviour known as “lobtailing”!
2. The humpbacks near Victoria, BC, sing complex songs that can last up to 20 minutes, and these songs can be heard underwater for miles!
3. Humpback whales that visit the Salish Sea can weigh as much as 40 tons, making them one of the largest creatures in the ocean!
4. These whales undertake one of the longest migrations of any mammal, traveling up to 16,000 miles annually between feeding grounds like the Salish Sea and their tropical breeding waters.
5. Humpbacks are known for their unique feeding technique called bubble net feeding, where they create a “net” of bubbles to trap fish, then swim up to gobble them all up!
