p.1 #1 · Whale- The tale of a tail...

Humpback whale in Alaska's Prince William Sound.
There are several above-surface behaviors of these giant marine mammals. Lobtailing and tail slap are two of them.
Mostly a tail lob is preparation for a tail slap. In this case, there was no slap. Tomorrow I'll post a tail slap.

Thanks, gentlemen... and...
For the best all-round wildlife viewing in Alaska (plus up-close views of some of the best coastal mountains and tidewater glaciers in the state), go to Seward and take the all-day excursion offered by Kenai Fjords Tours.
