A restful Sunday
Today's whale watch was definitely a restful day for the Humpback whales. Guests on board the Tangalooma Jet were extremely lucky to see a total of 6 Humpback whales in their restful state.The first juvenile whale observed was logging in the water, meaning it was sleeping by shutting down one half of its brain. When whales and dolphins sleep, they shut down one half of their brain, and the other half remains awake so the animal can surface to breath. We were also very lucky to see a juvenile green sea turtle and a pod of dolphins on today's whale watch. We are all itching with excitement for Migaloo to migrate north across Moreton Bay Marine Park. He is currently around the waters off Northern NSW, so we should expect him to cross into QLD waters within the next few days!
