The Right Whale

A recent trip to the Southern Cape in search of of the Southern Right Whales which visit these waters from their summer feeding grounds down south. Its interesting that the animals on this day were clearly hugging the surf line even though the swell was quite big. Often the calves were on the inside too, perhaps a strategy to defend against potential attacks from Great White sharks which are prevalent in the area?
