Description
Humpback whales are rorqual whales - a set of whales that are all in the family
Balaenopteridae, have ventral (head to tail) grooves on the throat, and a small, pointed dorsal fin. The grooves allow the throat to expand so they can take in huge amounts of water when they feed. The grooves contract and push out the water, which is filtered through baleen.
