¡@¡@Humpback whales are large and stocky with a black dorsal coloring and knobs called tubercles covering the jaw. Their main feature is the extremely long pectoral fins; when they dive, the tail fin appears above the surface with an obvious hump on the back, hence the name humpback whale.
¡@¡@ Humpback whales have been found to make a range of sounds, known as the most beautiful singers in the ocean.
