Ahead of our upcoming Whales and Head of Bight Tour, we’re excited to share some fascinating facts about the majestic Southern Right Whales (SRW) you’ll be encountering:
1). Despite their massive size, SRW are known for their spectacular acrobatic displays. They can breach, tail-slap, and even perform headstands.
2). Each SRW has a unique pattern of callosities on its head, like a human fingerprint. These provide a natural means of identification for researchers.
3). SRW communicate using a range of low-frequency sounds, which can travel for many km underwater, and plays a crucial role in their social interactions, especially during mating seasons and
between mothers and their calves.
