unique distinguishing ICAS English Practice Questions Paper C © EAA 2 Humpback whales Read the text and answer the questions that follow. Quick Facts Humpback Whale Scientific name: Megapt era novaeangliae Size: 14m – 18m in length; 30 – 50 tonnes in weight Habitat: open ocean and shallow coastline waters Migration: From warm tropical waters, where they breed and calve, to cold polar waters where they eat Diet: Krill (shrimp-like crustaceans), plankton and small such as herring and mackerel Hunting: Sometimes in groups, in which several whales form a circle under the water, blowing bubbles that form a ‘net’ around a school of The are then forced up to the surface in a concentrated mass. Status: Endangered: it is estimated that there are approximately 5 000 – 7 500 humpback whales worldwide. Humpback whales are sometimes called the circus performers of the ocean. This is because they appear to perform acrobatic feats when they dive. The name ‘humpback’, which is the common name for this whale , refers to the distinctive arch shape the whale’s back forms as it dives. Sometimes the humpback will embellish its dive with a spectacular movement known as a breach. During breaching the whale uses its powerful tail flukes to lift nearly two-thirds of its body out of the water in a giant leap. A breach might also include a sideways twist with fins stretched out like wings, as the whale reaches the height of the breach. A humpback whale breathes air at the surface of the water through two blowholes which are located near the top of the head. It spouts a double stream of spray that can rise up to 4 metres above the water. The humpback has a small dorsal fin located towards the tail flukes about two-thirds of the way down its back. Other features include large pectoral fins , which may be up to a third of the body length , and patches of black and white on the underside of the tail flukes. These markings are like fingerprints: no two are the same. Humpback whales live in large groups called pods. They communicate with each other through complex ‘songs’. © UNSW Global Pty Limited 2
