Description
A humpback whale fluke just before he dove deep so he could breach again. This whale is nicnamed Bowman after my father. Here is a link to this whales website http://www.happywhale.com/individual/1826. The humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) is a species of baleen whale. It is one of the larger rorqual species, with adults ranging in length from 39–52 ft and weighing around 28–33 tons. The humpback has a distinctive body shape, with long pectoral fins and a knobbly head. It is known for breaching and other distinctive surface behaviors, making it popular with whale watchers.
