* Diet: Humpback whales are filter feeders. They have baleen plates in their mouths instead of teeth, which they use to strain krill, small fish, and other plankton from the water.
* Size Disparity: Humans are far too small to be considered prey for a humpback whale.
* No Predatory Instinct: Humpback whales don't have any instinct to hunt or eat mammals like humans.
However, there are some things to remember:
* Accidental Contact: Although rare, there have been instances of whales bumping into boats or swimmers, possibly mistaking them for prey. This could result in injury or even death, but it's not intentional.
* Human Actions: Humans can sometimes pose a threat to whales, through pollution, habitat destruction, and entanglement in fishing gear.
In short, humpback whales are not a threat to humans, but we should always respect their size and power and be mindful of our impact on their environment.
