Resting mother and calf

With calm conditions in Brisbane's Moreton Bay, the Humpback whales were resting and conserving energy for the upcoming storm with 7 whales spotted for the day. The whales need to be very conservative with their energy as they do no eating during their migration, using their blubber for energy. The highlight for the whale watching cruise today was a resting mother and calf and it seemed that the calf was suckling from the mother for milk!
