| Hump Back Whales - Whitsundays. Every year Humpback Whales come to the Whitsundays from Antarctica to calve and breed in the warm sheltered waters of the Whitsunday Islands. |
| One of eight species of Baleen Whales that visit Australian waters, the Humpback Whale eats Krill, Plankton and small fish. Once hunted to the brink of extinction, the Humpback Whales are now a common sight playing in the safe waters of the Whitsundays. |
| Groups of Humpback whales can be distinguished from each other by the song sung my the male. He keeps this song essentially the same and varies it slightly each year. |
