Opening: ./a264.REC, lines; 19 Humpback Whale - a264.Image.jpg - The humpback whale is common in the Bay of Fundy from June to October and tend to congregate coastally. Stats: One of the most energetic of the large whales they are well known for their breaching, lobtailing and flipper-slapping. They always put on a good show for the whale watchers. They are also the easiest whale to ID and study due to the black and white pigmentation on the undersides of their flukes that are like human figerprints. 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 a humpback by their black or dark grey 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 can be quite friendly.
