Humpback Whales


So this is why the whales are called humpback. If they are going down into the ocean for a long dive they will flip their tail and splash downward (they need the momentum). But if they are just going down for a few minutes then they just hump their backs and keep swimming. This is our famous couple--there are more pictures below that are bigger so you can see more detail.
