The Humpback Whale has a built and well rounded body that narrows to a smaller tail stock. Its head is massive, marked with protuberances containing hair and providing sites for barnacles/whale lice. The giant pectoral fins easily distinguish apart the humpback from other whales and can be as much as a 1/3 of its total body length.
