11.01.2022 10 Awesome Humpback Whale Facts 1. Humpback whales have one of the longest migratory journeys of any mammal on Earth , migrating on average 5000km each year. 2. The East Australian Coast population can be spotted on the Sunshine Coast this is between June and November ... 3. An adult humpback whale can range in length from 12-16m weighing up to 50 tonnes (6 elephants ). At birth a humpback calf will measure 4-5m and weigh around 2 tonnes (3 cows ). 4. The gestation of a Whale is around 11 months and they can weigh up to 1 tonne at birth (ouch!). 5. The optimum birth environment of the water should be around 22-25 degrees. This is the most important reason for their humpback whales’ annual migration. 6. The humpback whales’ name derives from their very long pectoral fins and knobby head that make them look like they have a hump. 7. Whales are identifiable by the unique markings on their tail fluke, like humans and their fingerprints ; no two tail flukes are the same. This is used by National Parks to help record and track Whale population numbers as they migrate along the East Coast. 8. Humpbacks can travel up to 8 km/h. However during their long migration they allow plenty of time for resting and socialising along the way and so average only 1.6km/h. 9. Humpback Whales feed on krill, small shrimp-like animals, and small fish, eating up to 1.5 tonnes a day . 10. The male humpback whale is famous for its extraordinarily long and complex songs, which travel very far throughout the oceans. They are specific to different populations and can be heard hundreds of kilometres away Get up close with these amazing creatures with the Adventure Rafting team on the @visitsunshinecoast for an experience you’ll never forget! jo ward
