WHALE BEHAVIOR
Breaching
Breaching is when a whale propels its body out of the water and creates an impressive splash. Breaching is not fully understood, however, suggestions for this type of behavior include communication, mating, competition and play.
Fluking
A whales tail is composed of two lobes each of which is called a fluke, hence a whales tail is called “its flukes”. When a whale dives into the water column, it raises its tail before it slips below the surface.
Lob-Taling & Flipper Slapping
Whales slap the surface of the water with their tails or flippers. This type of behavior is associated with mating and communication.
Sailing
Sailing often looks like a “whale standing on its head with its tail vertically out”. Whales catch the wind and “sail” through the water, or use it to cool down.
Spyhopping
Spyhopping is when a whale looks like it is vertically standing in the water with its head sticking out of the water surface. This allows a whale to get a better view of its surounding activities.
