Opening: ./2595.REC, lines; 19 Humpback Whale - 2595.Image.jpg - Humpback Whales are common from June to October in the Bay of Fundy and tend to congregate coastally. One of the most energetic of the large whales they are well known for their breaching, lobtailing and flipperslapping. They often give a good show to whale watchers. The humpback is one of the easiest whales to ID and study due their black and white pigmentations on the undersides of their flukes which are like a human fingerprint. Males at their breeding grounds are well known for their singing the longest and most complex songs in the animal kingdom. Adult humpbacks average between 12-18m in length and may weigh more than 36 tonnes. You can ID them by their black or dark gray upper side, low stubby fin with hump, large stocky body, long white or black flippers, knobs on head and lower jaw, flukes raised before deep dive, irregular wavy edges on flukes, single bushy blow and they are usually quite friendly.
