Rare interactions with mating Southern Right Whales today leaves us now even more excited for season 2019 as we anticipate the arrival of a brand new baby!
Our morning was absolutely perfect, the most calm Southern Ocean you will ever see and not a whisper of wind as we made our way towards the Southern Right Whale nursery grounds.
Incredible sequence of events as a Humpback defended her calf by all means necessary, including using our vessel and the help of some heroic Dolphins.
Mating Southern Right Whales, Australian Sea Lions, baby calves and a Bottlenose Dolphin shark attack survivor sighted today.
Two young adults were socialising with much rolling and twisting at the surface when the local Bottlenose Dolphins arrived in quite a spectacular fashion!
The Southern Right Whales were out in numbers in Flinders Bay, Augusta today as we enjoy the peak of our Southern Right Whale season.
How do Dolphins survive shark attacks so severe? Their bodies are capable of incredible regeneration, pain management and blood flow control that what may seem like the impossible is possible for our Dolphins.
The structure of the bones in a Southern Right Whales Pectoral fins are exactly the same as our own hand as we see the phalanges of a Southern Right Whale!
Twisting, turning and gentle pectoral cuddles made us realise quickly that we were watching mating Southern Right Whales in Augusta!
The Humpback Whales were back in town today with a competition pod racing through the bay while Sothern Right Whales practiced tail slapping
As the storm clouds approached an enormous submarine launched itself from the water to our left… it was a breaching Southern Right Whale!
