Whales are mammals. They breathe and suckle their young. #SouthernRight #whalewatching season runs from June to November when they visit Southern African waters to mate and to calve. Whale Watching SA

DEAD BRYDE'S WHALE IN HERMANUS close to washing up. #NSRIStation17 towed the carcass to Die Plaat & untied it close to shore where it will hopefully wash up to collect scientific data. Bryde's whales are SA's only resident baleen whale 📷Martin Etsebeth

Norway's whaling season started with 37 minke whales being killed in the opening weeks. This comes just after the Norwegian government announced that the number of whales that can be killed (quota) will go up to 1,000 😡 Read more - bit.ly/44DalYi

#HumpBack whales each has its own unique pattern on the underside of its tail flukes, used to ID them, much like a fingerprint. #whalewatching #sciencesaveswhales #hermanuswhales Whale Watching SA

Adult whales usually mate in SA's warmer waters from June- Oct while pregnant females seek spots in calm bays to give birth The calves learn migration routes from their moms and If the route is not altered they will return one day to where they were born. Whale Watching SA

Southern Right Whales slap their tails on the surface of the water possibly for communication, or it can be an expression of discomfort or just to play😆🐳 #whalewatching Whale Watching SA

Advice from the Ocean: Be shore of yourself. Come out of your shell. Take time to relax and coast. Avoid pier pressure. Sea life's beauty. Don't get tide down. Make waves! 📷📷 - Author Unknown Whale Watching SA

Only a short time until the end of the #whalewatching season and some whales have already started their long journey back to Antartica. However the sightings are still spectacular! You can still join a trip Whale Watching SA
