WHY ADOPT A HUMPBACK WHALE?

Humpback whales live in oceans all around the world and migrate vast distances annually — from summer feeding grounds near the poles to warmer winter breading waters closer to the Equator. They get their name from the knobbly "humps" all over their back.

They also have smaller bumps on their head called tubercles, and each one contains a single hair that provides sensory information about the whales' surroundings from a very young age.

Along with ship collisions and the degradation of their habitat due to pollution, the greatest threats to humpback whales are entanglement in fishing gear and underwater noise. With your symbolic adoption, you're helping WWF-Canada bring the ocean back to a state of health and resilience, ensuring the long-term survival of species like the humpback whale.

DESIGNED TRUE-TO-LIFE HUMPBACK WHALE PLUSH

Humpback whales have 12-30 ventral pleats — long grooves on the underside of their throat that run all the way to their navel — which you'll see in our soft grey plush. These pleats allow the whale to expand its mouth three times its normal size during feeding so it can capture large amounts of food in one giant gulp.

Here are our most commonly asked questions about our symbolic adoption kits.

See our FAQ page or contact gifts@wwfcanada.org for more help.

How does my purchase help wildlife?

Your purchase through our e-store is a crucial part of our fundraising efforts to support the conservation work that our scientists undertake to protect wildlife and their habitats. For example, to help protect narwhals, our Arctic Species Conservation Fund supports narwhal tagging and research in Nunavut. We also support the development of non-invasive research techniques, including the use of aerial drones and underwater microphones. This work helps us learn more about distribution, behaviour, and the impacts of underwater noise on narwhals, inspiring actions that safeguard the species.

What is the name of my animal / How do I receive information about the animal I adopted?

Our Wildlife Adoptions are symbolic, which means that your purchase does not correspond to a specific animal in the wild. By selecting the wildlife adoption kit you like best, you are helping to protect all species at risk – not just one.

WWF works around the world to help conserve species and the
habitats they call home. Your gift goes a long way in helping to make these efforts possible.

How do I request a blank adoption certificate with my Symbolic Wildlife Adoption purchase?

If you would prefer to personalize your certificate yourself, you can opt to receive a blank adoption certificate. Simply leave the sender and recipient name fields blank.
