Whales

Virtual Whale

Humpbacks are massive marine mammals. Their sheer size is daunting indeed, yet they are capable of thrusting their entire bodies out of the ocean as they complete a breach.

Clicking on the commands alongside the virtual whale will prompt this humpback to perform some of its favorite activities.

Breathing is a spectacle. Whales can hold their breath for long periods. When they reach the surface it is time to recycle old air for new. This is done by releasing a dramatic gust and then inhaling.

Breaching is jumping completely out of the water and splashing back down.

Spyhopping is floating upright with the whale's head sticking out of the water so it can see what is going on.
