Become a Sea Guardian today by adopting a humpback whale
The humpback whale is a large baleen whale that migrates annually along the east and west coasts of Australia. These majestic giants are one of Australia’s most loved marine animals. They spend their summers in the Antarctic, feeding on krill, before travelling north during winter to bear their young.
Humpback whales were hunted almost to extinction for their meat and oil, with their populations crashing during the peak of the whaling industry in the 1950s and 1960s. These gentle giants have been protected in the Southern Hemisphere since 1963, and a worldwide moratorium on whaling was declared in 1986.
