Head lunging into the week
What a way to start the working week, with many head lunges seen by one of the adult Humpback whales on today’s whale watch! A head lunge occurs when a whale lunges forward, with most of its head exposed out of the water. This particular behaviour is commonly seen in surface-active groups where male escorts and challengers are vying for a close position to a female. Towards the end of the whale watch, a hammerhead shark was seen 10 metres from the front of the boat, a phenomenal sight to see as this juvenile shark was so curious! A total of 8 Humpback whales were seen on today’s whale watch.
