Humpback whale  (Megaptera novaeangliae)

Humpback whales are found throughout the world's oceans. They undertake yearly migrations of thousands of kilometres from summer feeding grounds in polar waters to winter breeding grounds near to the tropics (7). Indeed, individuals feeding south of Cape Horn undertake the longest known migration of any mammal, in order to breed in the warm waters off Columbia and Costa Rica (3).

These whales are found in both tropical and polar areas depending on the season and are associated with shallow, coastal waters (7).
