Suggested Answer Key
The humpback whale lives in all of the world’s oceans. It has a bulky head and 2 blowholes. Humpback whales grow to be about 16 m long, and can weigh up to 27-45 tonnes. They are seasonal feeders and carnivores. They eat small fish (herring and mackerel), tiny crustaceans and plankton. They are like acrobats of the ocean and can swim on their backs. The humpback whale can live up to almost a hundred years.
Spotlight on Exams 4
Humpback whales are an endangered species because of illegal whaling, getting caught in fishing nets and pollution. It is estimated that there are only between 10,00015,000 humpback whales worldwide. It is very important that we protect this amazing creature by joining an environmental group such as WWF or Greenpeace and by writing letters to the governments of countries to ask them to bring harsher penalties for whalers.
