If I am honest guys I was already so blown away by filming a few whales together with this epic sunrise that I was too excited to even think about that they could be mating 😂
I always had in the back of my mind while I was concentrating on flying that they were doing something strange but only after a while we @instaxtraveler noticed the males 🍆 and couldn’t believe what happened 😨
What you see here zoomed in I only noticed later while editing the videos…
Southern right whales are truly special and for me whales just continue to be maybe the most amazing animals that live on this planet!
The mortality of their babies was and is at an abnormal high which is due to the human caused kelp gull attacks. Hopefully we can give them the space they need so they can make many more babies in the future, because I don’t really see a solution to minimizing the kelp gull attacks on them which are leading to infections and lack of mummy-baby time etc.
