RE: Extant animals size - SameerluvAnimals - 04-06-2020 Humpback whales makes one of the longest migration of any mammals in the world, up to 10,190 miles (16,400 km) round trip. The humpback whale is slightly longer than a school bus, about 12–16 m (39–52 ft) in length and weigh around 25 - 40 tonnes. They are known for their melodious songs and for breaching the water. RE: Extant animals size - Catherine - 04-07-2020 The Humpback Whale is beautiful. I love the long fins. They make it look graceful. I would have expected the tail to be longer and bigger. If I saw just the tail in the water I would expect a much smaller whale. I would love to see one. Pictures and videos of them are great, but can you imagine actually seeing one in the water.

Actually they are well-studied species of whale and one of the most common whales you will see when whale watching. Among the documentaries i have seen for marine animals, most of them had humpback whales. The giant manta ray is one of the largest fishes in the world. It is the largest ray and has a disc width of 4.5 - 7 m (15 - 23 ft) and weigh as much as 1 - 2 tonnes. RE: Extant animals size - Catherine - 04-12-2020 I have been on the west coast often enough to have seen a humpback, but sadly no. I have seen Orca and Grey whales migrating. I just haven't been in the right place at the right time. The giant Manta is amazing, but it is also kind of cute. Where do they live. I have never heard of them anywhere I have been. |
