By Pratik The Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are baleen whales which are extremely acrobatic they sing really long complete songs. Humpback whales are very social and often travel in groups of many other humpbacks whales called pods.

Diet and Bubble-Net Feeding: Humpback whales are filter feeders that eat puny Crustaceans, Plankton, and tiny fish (Like Herrin, Mackerel, Capelin and Sandeel.) These whales sometimes hunt cooperatively; they have adapted a way to get prey easier. First the pod for a circle to trap the fish then at the same time the whales blow a strong force of bubbles the stun the prey.

Swimming: Just like other whales, the Humpback whales swim by moving there tail fin (called flukes) up and down. But fish move there tail fin right and left.
