Unlike boring blue whales, I'm an oceanic acrobat. Remember: flippers long and bumpy? That means it's a humpy! Avatar & couplet: @RitheGuardian alaskahumpbacks.org/matching.html Help science, send pics here: Joined September 2014

More energy is spent in a single humpback whale breach that by a human running an entire marathon elifesciences.org/articles/51760

Yeah sure whatever boring blue whales do nothing interesting. AND THE PICTURE IS OF MY COUSIN MATHILDA, who is, of course, a humpback whale.

Grumpy Hummy doesn't have quite the same ring to it. Though we do sing low enough that mere humans might think we only hum.

Pro tip: no need to photograph whales with a macro lens.

Is it just me, or are humans increasing greatly in numbers? Lately you can't even have a dinner party without human gawkers, even in remote South Georgia.

Pro-tip: if you think the video you are posting is a blue whale, but the whale is breaching or doing anything exciting at all... it's not a blue whale, and it's probably a humpback whale. For example... media.giphy.com/media/mW05nwEy…
