Whalecome to the world!
Today’s whale watch whalecomed new life, with a new born calf sighted with its mum! Guests on the Tangalooma Jet were delighted to see this adorable young calf enjoying the waters off Cape Moreton. It’s quite incredible to think that these calves drink 200 litres of milk from their mums each day, which is the equivalent of 1,000 glasses of milk! For calves, 50-60 kilograms of weight is gained each day. When calves are first born, they weigh 1.5 tons, which is considerably light compared to the adults weighing up to 45 tons! A total of 9 Humpback whales were seen on today’s whale watch.
