    They have a dorsal fin about two-thirds of the way from the front of the body
    and a characteristic high humping or arching of the back when diving. They
    have long, thin pectoral fins and a massive tail, the underside of which is
    mottled white and black and can vary white and black and can vary distinctly
    in shading pattern.

    Humpback whales are highly acrobatic, sometimes leaping completely clear of
    the water.
