| A humpback whale (*Megaptera novaeangliae*) breaches the ocean surface, showcasing its massive body and long pectoral fins. The whale's dark skin contrasts with the white water splashes around it. Its textured body, highlighted by ridges, glistens in the sunlight. The background features calm, open waters under a light, cloudy sky. This behavior is often associated with communication, play, or dislodging parasites. |
