A VOYAGE IN TIME
#4
The Humpback Whale is blackish in color with some white on its under parts.
At a 45 ft. length, it would weigh approximately 90,000 lbs., yield 33
barrels of oil and its heart would weigh about 425 lbs. Emitting long,
ethereal "songs," the humpback controls its motion with huge, wing like
flippers. It arches its back sharply to begin its dive, displaying an
outstanding dorsal fin. The tendency of the humpback to cluster around
islands and hug shorelines has made it one of the easiest whales to hunt.
Spending the winter in tropical regions, it migrates with the seasons and
according to the abundance of food. The humpback has no known breeding
season. Its young are born eleven months after mating, with an average
weight of 3,000 lbs. and approximately 15 to 16 feet in length.
