WHAT ARE THOSE LITTLE BUMPS? 👀
Humpback whales have a particular feature on top of their heads and under the chin that other whales don´t. That feature is little bumps, called tubercules, which can be almost the size of a golf ball.
In these little bumps exist a tiny little hair, like an extra sensory organ, that helps these animals feel vibrations in the underwater world or sense things above their head.
