Humpback Whale

Spotting the Megaptera novaeangliae, or the Humpback Whale, in Sri Lankan waters is extremely rare, Asha de Vos told Roar Media. The Humpback whale is dark grey, with some areas of white and has long pectoral fins and a knobbly head. It can reach 60 ft in length, and adult females are typically larger than adult males. The Humpback whale typically lives for about 50 years and feeds on crustaceans such as krill, plankton, and small fish.
