Humpback Whale
In the summer, humpback
whales live in waters from southern California to the Gulf
of Alaska to the Chukchi Sea. In winter,they migrate to
warmer Subtropical areas. They feed on krill and small fish
such as herring. Man is the humpback whale's most dangerous
enemy. They are about 52 feet long and weigh 30-50 tons.
Their upper bodies are black or blue, and their flippers and
undersides can be white. Humpback whales have a life span of
45-50 years. They live in groups called pods. Humpback
whales can dive for 30 minutes but usually only for 15
minutes. There are only 10,000-15,000 humpback whales
world-wide. They are an endangered species. They sing
amazing songs. If you want to here a amazing song
