Then we have the sounds. Whistles and rumbling can be heard for 20 minutes from up to 20 miles away. Only male whales make true songs. Humpback whales do not have vocal cords, so people think that they probably sing by circulating air.
Finally are the babies. When they are born, calves average 13 feet in length. They weigh 2 tons. Newborns consume 100 pounds of milk each day for 5 to 7 months. After about 6 months, calves have nearly doubled their size.
