HUMPBACK WHALE<br />

(Megaptera novaeangliae)<br />

Humpback whales are such majestic creatures.<br />

Weighing anywhere up to 50 tonnes, they<br />

can propel themselves out of the water and<br />

perform stunning acrobatic displays. During<br />

migration season around 1,200 humpback<br />

whales make their way between Antarctica<br />

and Australia. Along the way the males<br />

communicate by song, which can be heard for<br />

hundreds of kilometres.<br />

To witness one of these gentle giants<br />

we recommend you go to Spirit Whale<br />

Watching, who have a whale sighting<br />

guarantee.
