Whales are the largest mammals in the oceans. Giants like Moby Dick inhabit the world’s oceans. But Flipper, the dolphin, also belongs to their species. Hampie, the little humpback whale, will not become as huge as Moby Dick. But at his birth he is already much larger than Flipper. When he has grown up, he has no natural enemies in the ocean. But growing up is quite stressful, Hampie can tell you about it. And no enemies? – That would be nice. But see for yourself how he lives. Get to know his family and listen to the tales from the past. Discover his living space, which is beautiful, but also full of dangers. And accompany him on his long, adventurous journey from the Pacific to the Arctic.
