Humpback whales can camouflage into sand, coral, and the
water. It’s hard to see humpback whales in dark water because
their color can get to be so dark. Sometimes it’s easy to spot
one. Like if it’s white, water is not white it does not camouflage.
But it camouflages into ice barges, snow, and ice.
When they want to find food and they can’t see, they send a
noise out and it bounces off a fish or a rock. Their eye sight is
not that good, so they use echolocation. If there is a rock,
they can hear where it is!
