Humpack whale Calves breaching off moreton island

Newborn calves took the spotlight on todays whale watch, with two spotted doing breaches!

It was memorable experience to see such young whales attempting breaches, resulting in just getting their heads out of the water before splashing down. Humpback whales can live up to 50 years so these little guys have a lot more migrations ahead of them.

A total of 10 whales were spotted on todays whale watching day cruise from Brisbane.
