Endangered Whales
Humpback Whales like the one featured photograph on this page grow to over 50 feet, weigh over 40 tons and are an endangered whale species; humpback whales are known for their magical songs, which travel for great distances through the world's oceans. It is most likely that humpbacks sing to communicate with others and to attract potential mates. Humpbacks are powerful swimmers, and they use their massive tail fin to propel themselves through the water and sometimes completely out of it. These whales, like others, regularly leap from the water, landing with a tremendous splash.
