Wonderful Whales!

Oct 22, 2014

 Peduncle Slap!  A strongly active movement whereby the caudal peduncle (the area between the dorsal fin and tail flukes) is slapped sideways on  the water surface.  An aggressive behaviour – cows often inform other whales or even predators of their vigilance in caring for their precious calves.
