Whale Calf

The Humpback whale is one of the largest animals in the world, present in the oceans and seas of the world, this cetacean mammal measures an average of 50 feet and can weigh up to 40 tons. It is distinguished by its black color on the top and whitish below, which you can admire during spectacular jumps out of the water. In addition to their majesty, the whales are known for their complex songs that resonate for us like a strange and fantastic melody. It may be that they also play an important role during courtship displays. Humpback whales mating occurs in tropical or warm waters and is followed by a one-year gestation. After the birth, the calf will remain dependent on its mother until its 6 years, at which time it becomes sufficiently large, and is thus no longer an easy prey for its predators.
