Facts About Whales

The whale is any of the larger species of aquatic mammals belonging to the order Cetacea. Whales are the heaviest known animals. The blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) can weigh up to 200 metric tons and can attain a length of more than 98 feet. Whales must surface regularly to breathe, evacuating their lungs in an explosive breath known as a blow. Blows are visible because water vapour in the whale’s hot breath condenses when the blow is released.

The Playful Activity of Whales

As a wildlife photographer, being out and around Whales is a special experience. It is a must-do. They are huge, yet energetic and maybe even playful. Photos of Humpback Whales can be captured off the coast in Alaska in the summer. A good guide with a fast boat comes in handy. It's a special experience when they breach or slap their tail.

Photos of Orca Whales, also known as Killer Whales, are a little more challenging to obtain, but we were lucky with some pods off the coast of the San Juan Islands. There are clear family bonds with the babies sticking close by Mom in both species of Whales.
