Spout shapes differ among species, which facilitates identification. This is followed by inhaling fresh air into the lungs. A humpback whale's lungs can hold about 5,000 litres (1,300 US gal) of air. [4] [5] Baleen whales have two blowholes positioned in a V-shape, while toothed whales have only one blowhole. [6]

The whale's surprising dexterity is due primarily to its non-conventional flippers, which have large, irregular ...
