2 HABITAT Humpback whales (scientific name: Megaptera novaeangliae) can be found in all parts of the oceans except for the polar seas. When these marine mammals are not migrating, they prefer shallow waters and can be seen living in surface waters both in the open ocean and along the coast. There are three separate populations of humpback whales that do not interact with one another. These groups include the whales living in the North Pacific, those in the North Atlantic and those in the Southern Hemisphere.

7 APPEARANCE These whales feed in the cold artic waters during the summer months and then migrate down to the tropical waters in the winter. The humpback whale is one of the most active and acrobatic of all the whales in the Santa Barbara Channel. These marine mammals are famous for their underwater singing, breaching, and flipper-slapping. A humpback's head is broad and rounded covered with bump-like growths, each containing stiff hairs. Barnacles and amphipods, small microscopic animals, can also be found residing on the whale's head. Humpbacks and all other baleen whales have two blowholes.

11 The upper side of the humpback whale is mottled black to gray and the underside is white. An adult male can measure feet ( meters) in length. Adult females are a bit larger measuring feet ( meters) in length. Weight ranges from 25 to 40 tons.

13 DIET A humpback whale's diet is made up of krill (small shrimp-like organisms), plankton (tiny organisms that float in the water), and small fish. Humpbacks feed by swallowing a mouthful of water containing its prey. They use the baleen in their mouths to filter out food from the ocean water. One unique way that humpbacks feed is known as "bubblenetting". Humpbacks swim below a school of fish and blow bubbles in a circle to enclose their prey.
