They live in the Amazon River, so yes, they are freshwater. Link! And enough about the creepy fish that swim into unpleasant places...
Speaking of whales, humpbacks are pretty awesome. Mostly because the males will sing for about 10-20 minutes and then repeat it for hours. And they only eat during the summer, so in winter when they give birth, they're living off fat reserves. And they eat krill and small fish, like the blue whales.

Noooo, they be big, bulky and blooo! They arent the fastest! Way to unstreamlined! Thats like saying a TRUCK is the FASTEST CAR IN THE WORLD! IT DOESNT WORK THAT WAY! (though, ofcourse 40knts is pretty fast compared to what you and I can make)
Meet mr. Speediest fish in the world, Istiophorus platypterus, or Sailfish with a speed of 68.18 mph

Huge bonus for the Eddie Izzard reference :D
and humpbacks are also awesome, due to their appearance on the cover of Gojira's "From Mars To Sirius"
