This young Humpback Whale is still in the area. He’s been here for a whole month now. Initially concerns had been raised that he may be unwell, because it’s an unusual month for Humpback Whales here as they’re generally seen between May and July when they migrate North from Antarctica. He also appeared to be resting on the surface a lot and he had quite a big (bloated?) belly. Over the last month, we got to observe him a bit more and it turns out that he’s doing all the right things a young Whale should be doing (breaching, tail slapping, feeding and pooping). Yesterday we watched him feed on baitfish together with Seals and Dolphins. 💙

This young whale is still in the area and appears to be resting on the surface a lot. Please if you are planning on boating along this coastline in the coming days or on the weekend, keep an eye out for him and give him some space. :)

We got a few last seats available for Sunday’s tours and the weather is looking beautiful! ☀️ DM us to book! :)

We’ve spotted this #HumpbackWhale 3 times in the last week. 💙 It’s certainly not in a hurry to head north.

We can’t wait for the rest of the Whales to migrate past this coastline to hopefully get some more ID shots for the #TasmanianFlukeProject . Dr. Maddie Brasier @madsbrasier has been in charge of uploading the fluke images to the database. She’s confirmed that we identified 129 new flukes in 2020 which greatly exceeded our expectations. Fingers crossed for another epic whale season! 🐋

You can be a part of this #citizenscience project, too. If you get a photo of the underside of a Humpback Whale’s tail this season, please send your images with the exact location and time either to us @wildoceantasmania or to @madsbrasier . 💙🙏
