They are known for their spectacular breaching behavior and complex songs, which play a role in communication and mating. Found in oceans around the world, humpbacks migrate thousands of miles annually from feeding grounds near the poles to warmer breeding waters closer to the equator. They are a focal species for marine conservation efforts due to their role in the ecological health and biodiversity of the ocean.
