body out of the water in a giant leap. A breach might also
include a sideways twist with fins stretched out like wings,
as the whale reaches the height of the breach.
A humpback whale breathes air at the surface of the
Water through two blowholes which are located near the top
of the head. It blows a double stream of water that can rise
up to 4 meters above the water.
The humpback has a small dorsal fin located towards
the tail flukes about two-thirds of the way down its back.
other distinguishing features include large pectoral fins,
which may be up to a third of the body length, and unique

communicate with each other through complex “songs”.
