Whales were hunted for their oil to the brink of extinction until the 1960’s but their numbers are now recovering. It’s estimated there are over 50,000 in the Southern Hemisphere. https://davidparer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/24_643_30_ddp4714-lr-copy1.jpg24_643_30_ddp4714-lr-copy20. Humpbacks compete for females physically not through sperm competition as do other whale species like right whales. They have relatively small testes and a short penis and they fight.https://davidparer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/23_643_30_ddp4701-lr-copy1.jpg23_643_30_ddp4701-lr-copy19. A mature male humpback whale’s penis ranges from 3.2 to 6.2ft in length and it’s unusual to see it extruded. Males may display it to other males as they compete for a female or as part of courtship. https://davidparer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/22_643_30_ddp4700-lr1.jpg22_643_30_ddp4700-lr 18. We don’t know if the other animal nearby was female or male but the penis extrusion followed a long stint of two whales surfacing and diving to rest at about 10m. Sometimes the pair would lie across each other while at other times they would just hang vertically in the water column head up. Our collective sense was that it was courtship.https://davidparer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/21_643_28_ddp18211.jpg21_643_28_ddp182124. Young humpback whale breaching, It’s uncertain why whales breach. It may be to remove parasites, to communicate a message, to intimidate a rival, to see what’s going on or just to play. In any case, humpbacks seem to do a lot of it to the delight of onlookers.https://davidparer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/20_643_28_ddp18861.jpg20_643_28_ddp188623. Humpback whale slapping its pectoral fins, typically one-third the length of its body. Flipper slaps are often seen in surface active groups battling for access to a female. These fins are proportionally the longest of any cetacean and it’s been suggested they have evolved to give them better manoeuvrability and increased surface area for temperature control during their migration across warm & cold waters.https://davidparer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/19_643_24a_epc97951.jpg19_643_24a_epc979522. Tail slapping humpback whale with water cascading off the wavy trailing edges of its powerful tail. The tail fin can be up to a third of the humpback’s body length. Varying patterns on these flukes allow researchers to distinguish individual animals and photo ID catalogues of the different populations are added to each season. Tail lashes can also be part of surface active groups fighting for a female.https://davidparer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/18_643_18_epc94091.jpg18_643_18_epc9409 21. Spy-hopping humpback whale, Tonga. Their topside is usually black and their head and lower jaw are covered in knobby hair follicles called tubercules.https://davidparer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/17_643_4a_11009641.jpg17_643_4a_110096417. Humpback whale leisurely rolling around after surfacing to breathe. Wide ventral grooves run along its underside with females having a 15cm diameter hemispherical lobe in the genital region. This distinguishes them visually from males who generally have their penis hidden within a genital slit. Males reach sexual maturity when about 7 years old and the females at about 5 years.https://davidparer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/16_643_1_ddp87901.jpg16_643_1_ddp879016. Curtains of bubbles rise to the surface as humpback whales vocalize deep below. No one knows really why they sing but it may have something to do with mating or establishing dominance. Both males and females vocalize by forcing air through their blowholes but only males sing complex songs which they repeat. Some sing for 20 minutes at a time with sounds varying in pitch. 2016-10-24T02:08:13+00:00weekly0.6https://davidparer.com/books/https://davidparer.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/mawson_survivor.jpgmawson_survivorDouglas Mawson: The Survivorhttps://davidparer.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/platypus_book.jpgplatypus_bookPlatypus: World's Strangest Animal2016-09-30T04:11:24+00:00weekly0.6https://davidparer.com/from-the-archives/https://davidparer.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/12_1995_liz-sound-recording-galapagos.jpgFrom the Archives: 1995_12.
