Humpback whales are a popular whale
with whale watchers in Nova Scotia. They are very sociable and are rarely
seen alone. The average humpback measures 15m (50 feet) in length and can live up to 95 years on a diet of capelin, mackerel and herring. Humpbacks are massive animals and a joy to observe. To see a humpback whale leaping from the sea is a site to behold. A humpback whale can weigh 65 tons or more. |
