    I think humpback whales don't eat during the winter in the Caribbean
    Sea because the water is cooler than normal. When the humpback opens
    its mouth for food, the cold water seeps into the humpback's mouth and
    I presume that humpbacks do not like having cold water in their
    mouths.
