Look at Me! – 2/1/22

This precious baby Humpback stole the show while whale watching aboard @pacificwhalefoundation Discovery whale watching boat in Maui Nui bay.

Calves are 12- 15 feet long at birth and weigh around a ton. They are whales after all but considering an adult female averages 40 feet and 40 tons that’s still a big baby!

What a surprise it was to suddenly see this baby Humpback whale & it’s mommy do a double breach off the coast of Lahaina Maui this afternoon. The naturalist aboard the @pacificwhalefoundation Discovery whale watching boat informed us this infant whale was less than one month old. “Flying Pickle” ????

Look how adorable this newborn Humpback whale is.  No wonder some naturalists refer to them as a pickle. Oh & those floppy pectoral fins…how cute are they?
