Comment
Humpback whales can be found in oceans all around the world, commonly seen in the eastern and western Australian waters. The humpback whale has been protected in Australian waters and in the Southern Hemisphere since 1963. A few years later, the decline in global numbers was recognized and the humpback whale was given global protection from the whaling industry. Their main prey is krill and small schooling fish. Male humpback whales produce a complex song that typically last for more than 30 minutes. Humpbacks are popular with whale watchers, as they frequently breach out of the water and splash down on their backs.Interesting fact
The Humpback Whale coin is a non-circulating coin, meaning it is not intended for general circulation and is instead produced in limited quantities for collectors.
