Opening: ./46b9.REC, lines; 19 Humpback - 46b9.Image.jpg - This humpback was spotted in August of 1995 in the Bay of Fundy where they are quite common from June to October and tend to congregate coastally.
Stats: The Humpback is one of the most energetic of the large whales and they are well known for their breaching, lobtailing and flipperslapping, always putting on a good show for the whale watchers. The Humpback is one of the easiest whales to ID and study due to the black and white colouring on the undersides of their flukes which is like a human fingerprint. Males at their breeding grounds are well known for singing the longest and most complex songs in the animal kingdom. Adults humpbacks average between 12-18m in length and may weigh more than 36 tonnes. You ID a humpback by their flukes, black or dark gray colouring on their 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 may be quite friendly.
