Humpback whale (*Megaptera novaeangliae*) breaching the ocean's surface. Visible are its large, arching pectoral fins, and the textured pattern of the skin. The whale is partially out of the water, creating a splash and droplets around it. The sunlit scene highlights the whale's bluish-grey coloration against the deep blue sea under a clear sky. This behavior is often associated with communication, play, or the removal of parasites. Common in oceans worldwide, the humpback is known for its complex songs. |
