The common name for the large whale that migrates long distances is the humpback whale. Known for their acrobatic behavior, humpback whales can be seen breaching the surface and performing intricate and stunning jumps. They undertake one of the longest migrations of any mammal, traveling thousands of miles between feeding grounds in polar regions and breeding grounds in warmer waters. Humpback whales are also famous for their complex songs, which can last for hours and are believed to play a role in mating and communication. Their impressive size and engaging behavior make them a favorite among whale watchers.
