Paddling with whales in Monterey Bay
July 30, 2014 - Moss Landing, California, United States: A humpback whale flukes, or lifts its tail out of the water as it dives. The big humpbacks are the most social of all whales. They're easy to find too, by spouts, diving birds and acres of feeding sea lions. When the boats, big and small, get within range of the whales and turn off their engine, the big whales put on a show. They can spout, lunge-feed, spyhop, wave with a fluke (or tail) salute, or give the big show with a full breach, pirouette and crash into the calm sea.
