Southern Right Whale - seen off coast of Hermanus. Endangered, though the population is growing slowly, they remain a fraction of what they were before commercial whaling nearly exterminated them. Right Whales lack a dorsal fin and have wide, paddle-shaped flippers. They range in length between 43 to 56 feet, and weigh up to 176,000 pounds. Off the coast of South Africa mother whales raise their calves.

For #WorldWhaleDay…memories of this leucistic (mostly white, but not albino) Southern Right Whale calf, migrating along Cape Infanta & De Hoop on the Western Cape's southernmost coastline; October 2018. Came so close I could see it’s ghostly silhouette in the water, & capture this from a ridge on shore. With only 4-5% of Southern Right Whale calves born nearly white, this truly was a rare sight…so special to share this with the construction crew on site, all of which had never seen a whale, & most let alone had never seen the ocean before! #whale #southernrightwhale #rightwhale #seawatching #marinemammals #marineconservation #ocean #sea #cetaceans #wildlife #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #southafrica #dehoop (at Cape Infanta) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8msElpgcSp/?igshid=1ey7topldbbjk
Captured this lone beauty in a sea of green down south this weekend. Such a majestic and calm creature. She played in the waves for about an hour very close to shore as we watched on. It was a truly magical experience! 🐋😍🐋 📍Prevelly, WA 🐋😍🐋 #scruffypassports . . . . . #southernright #southernrightwhale #whale #whalewatching #whales #nature #beauty #deepblue #majestic #bucketlist #drone #naturedrone #dronephotography #dronelife #downsouth #perthisok #anotherdayinwa #droneporn (at Surfers Point) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnF9fPThbB6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b9hjozv17dpt
Catch a glimpse of a whale pod as they migrate along the coast of south western Victoria. From Warrnambool to Portland in Winter/Spring you can see mothers and their calves frolicking in the ocean, within a hundred metres of the shore at Logan’s Beach. #aroundandabout #travel #travelvictoria #visitvictoria #whales #whalewatching #southernrightwhale #logansbeach https://www.aroundandabout.com.au/where-to-see-whales-in-victoria/ (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD4vHC0DynZ/?igshid=96la40dsezap

It's #FunFactFriday! #DYK that Right Whales were given that name because they were the "right" whales to hunt? They are slow swimmers and would float after they were killed. Southern Right Whales are one of three right whale species and the only one found in the Southern Hemisphere - as an endangered species they are now protected in all of their breeding grounds and there are approximately 10,000 individuals in the population. ⠀ Photo by @grakav #whaletales #rightwhales #whales #talesofsavingwhales #whalewatching #southernrightwhales #whalesareawesome #trivia #didyouknow https://www.instagram.com/p/CDUArw6l-71/?igshid=175y6wzyen9xh
