1. Humpback whales travel over the whole ocean from the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica to the Arctic Ocean in the north. At 15 m long (50 ft) and weighing nearly 40 tons, they are one of the largest animals on Earth, a little bigger than a full-size bus.
2. Despite their massive size, humpback whales can propel themselves above the water and splash back down (breaching). Some scientists think they do this to splash off parasites, but they may do it just to have fun.
3. Humpback whales migrate farther than any other animal in the world. Some travel 26,000 km (10,000 miles) each year.
4. Male humpback whales are known for their majestic song, which are a sequence of moans, cries, and howls. The low-frequency sounds from the whale can travel more than 16,000 km (10,000 miles) in water without losing energy. They can sing the same song for hours and even harmonize with other whales.
5. This enormous sea animal can eat 2000-2500 kg (4400-5500 lbs) of fish during the feeding season.
6. What else can you learn about humpback whales?
How can you liken the humpback whale to having an abundant attitude?
Despite the enormous amounts of fish the humpback whale eats, there is enough fish for other animals to eat. What have you abundantly been blessed with and can share with others?
A male humpback’s song can travel many miles and a whale can sing these songs for hours. They can even harmonize with each other. What does it mean to share your gifts, talents, and resources in the spirit of abundance? Can you think of an example?
Humpback whales travel farther than any other animal. How does having an abundant attitude help you ‘travel’ farther in life and become who you really are?
