Here's the longest video we've made for the channel yet! Folks seem divided on if they want long or short videos.

The humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) grows to 69 ft long, making it the fourth largest animal in the world, only the Blue Whale (Sibbaldius musculus) (80 ft long), Fin Whale (Balaenoptera physalus) (75 ft long), and Sei Whale (Rudolphius borealis) (72 ft long) are the ones larger than the humpback whale, interestingly, the blue whale is the closest living relative of the humpback whale, both are rorquals, rorquals are distinguished from other baleen whales by their gular pouches with grooves below them, in addition to their ram-feeding ability, which inflates their gular pouches.
Nope, the humpback whale is the fourth largest animal in the world, it grows to 69 ft long, the humpback whale is larger than all animals except for the blue, fin, and sei whales, the sperm whale grows to 66 ft long and is the fifth largest animal, the whale shark grows to 60 ft long and is the sixth largest animal, the basking shark grows to 56 ft long and is the seventh largest animal, the bowhead whale grows to 50 ft long and is the eighth largest animal, the baird's beaked whale grows to 49 ft long and is the ninth largest animal, the pacific northern right whale grows to 48 ft long and is the tenth largest animal, the atlantic northern right whale grows to 46 ft long and is the eleventh largest animal, the megamouth shark grows to 45 ft long and is the twelfth largest animal, the southern right whale grows to 44 ft long and is the thirteenth largest animal, the colossal squid also grows to 44 ft long but is the fourteenth largest animal, the arnoux's beaked whale grows to 42 ft long and is the fifteenth largest animal, the grey whale grows to 40 ft long and is the sixteenth largest animal, the giant squid also grows to 40 ft long but is the seventeenth largest animal, and the sato's beaked whale grows to 39 ft long and is the eighteenth largest animal.
Your full of it! I work on whale watching trips here in Alaska, see them daily they are the fifth largest and averaging 40-50 ft! Your a clueless wannabe one! Simple!😳🤣🤪
Trying to tell a longtime Alaskan about humpbacks is just hilarious! Ready? I see every august the largest humpback whale density population on earth just outside of Petersburg and five fingers lighthouse outside of Kake! Your clueless!
More facts that fit here: As with turtles, humpback whales often have barnacles stuck to their bodies. When a humpback whale jumps completely out of the water, this is called a breach. A literal ton of food can be in the stomach of a humpback whale at any given time.
Humpback Whale are AMAZING Parents. Mother and Calves are seen with a Bull known as an Escort. Escorts are mature humpbacks whales that tag along with a mother and her calf to help fend off predators. they do very little to help the mothers raise the calves. Instead they concentrate on keeping predators at bay and fending off other male humpbacks. Escort are not the Fathers to the calves but act like a surrogate
The curved back of a humpback whale when it dives has nothing to do with the name ''humpback''. These whales get their species name for the small hump (bump) under their dorsal fin.
Yes, they are both rorquals, the Blue Whale (Sibbaldius musculus) and Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangeliae) are classified within the subfamily Megapterinae, which also contains the minke whales (genus Pterobalaena).

Comments for the Algorithm
You forgot to mention that humpback whale save any animals getting attacked by orcas

Oh could you provide a source to this I would love to read it!
Are they related to blue whales?
Yes, they are both rorquals, the Blue Whale (Sibbaldius musculus) and Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangeliae) are classified within the subfamily Megapterinae, which also contains the minke whales (genus Pterobalaena).
This is your longest video.
