Humpbacks have the longest pectoral fins of any whale — up to one-third of their body length. Their scientific name, Megaptera, means “big wing,” and it’s easy to see why.

Megaptera novaeangliae bringing Christmas to you.
I take on average 10,000 stills and a half hour of video every week. Most I'll never think about again. This I'll hold onto until I grow old. 4 hours ago.
Zero edits. No recoloring. No cropping. Nothing. Just straight up reality. 🦑

Eine Studie hat herausgefunden, dass sie das vor allem machen, wenn die nächsten Wale mehr als vier Kilometer entfernt sind. Dh: Das ist ein guter Weg, laute Signale an Kolleg:innen auszusenden, die weiter weg sind. Sie kommunizieren also!

Evidence for the functions of surface‐active behaviors in humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae)
As part of their social sound repertoire, migrating humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) perform a large variety of surface-active behaviors, such as breaching and repetitive slapping of the pect....

Another species no longer on the global Endangered list:
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).
A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.

Happy Hump Day!🐋 The humpback whale's genus name, Megaptera, means "big-winged" in Latin. While humpbacks don't *actually* have wings, their giant pectoral flippers reach ~15 feet (4.6 metres) in length and help them gracefully "fly" through the water.
