Answer:

"Megaptera novaeangliae"
"Humpback whales are very large whales that can reach over 60 feet (19 meters) in length. They have a dark (black or grey) back that speckles off into the white underbelly and pectoral fins. The long grooves on the bottom of their body distinguish them along with the impressive length of their pectoral fins, reaching 8 feet (2.4 meters) long each. As they swim, they do not have a hump present. As they come to the surface to breathe, their balloon-shaped plumes can be seen from a great distance. Then, as they go to swim to the depths of the ocean once more, they will arch their back, creating a hump appearance before disappearing into the deep."
