Migaloo was first spotted in 1991 passing Australia's most east point at Byron Bay. Since then he's returned year after year on his annual migration north to warmer waters for mating season. And this year he brought a friend with him, a grey whale. Migaloo is now in his twenties, his prime, and marine biologists are hoping his new friend is female. Whale-watching is a favorite attraction in Australia. "To see that iridescent white. Until you see I don't think you'd believe it. It's beautiful." "It was quite interesting because, like, there was all the black ones and then there was just white one. Yeah it was really good." The east Australian humpback population was thought to number around 30000 before commercial whaling began in the late 18th century. Whaling eventually stopped in the 1960s, but only about 10000 Humpback whales are around today. Copyright NTDTV english.ntdtv.com

bit.ly Humpback whale songs are transferred from year to year and evolve in a similar fashion to the verbally transmitted tribal lore of Aboriginal cultures from where the term songlines is derived. The East Australian Humpback Whales travel in an unending cycle of migration between their birthplace in the inter-reef lagoon of the Great Barrier Reef and their Antarctic feeding areas. Their world is comprised of vast stretches of ocean where songs emitted by the Humpback Whales can be heard over great distances. Each year the whales sing a new song. Haunting melodies of radiant joy which fill the ocean along the East Coast of Australia. When ecosystems across the planet are collapsing and species are becoming extinct at an accelerating rate, the East Australian Humpback Whales are making a remarkable recovery. They have become Australias national treasure and a symbol of hope for our imperiled environment. SONGLINES documents the evolution of the intricate and beautiful East Australian Humpback song. An hour of pristine digital recordings selected from five different years between 1992 and 2008 which draw the listener into a mysterious and majestic world. Audio CD: 5 Tracks, running time 60 minutes. Track 3 features Migaloo, the white whale recorded in 1998. © The Oceania Project All Rights Reserved.
We were trolling for salmon and we saw this humpback coming towards us... I whipped out my handy-dandy Sony and flicked it on Movie mode. It came up about only 50-75 ft away from us, and I just barely got a shot! The splash was absolutely amazing! It was a highlight of the trip!
Marine experts are attempting to rescue a humpback whale from shark nets off the Gold Coast
Humpback whales: Average length ( adult ) 35 - 50 ft ( newborn ) 13 - 16 ft Average weight ( adult ) 23 - 30 tons ( newborn ) 1 - 2 tons. population : 18000 - 20000 ( 2002 figures ) Life span : estimated to be around 40 yrs ( 1998 figures ) Threats: caught in fishing nets, human disturbance and being tangled in Marine pollution. The flukes ( tails ) have a distinct pattern on the underside, much like our fingerprints. The humpback whale breaches more frequently than other baleen whales. the pacific humpback's pectoral fins are white underneath & black on top. The Atlantic humpbacks pectoral fins are white on both sides which makes it easier for us to see them. While their breeding grounds - the whales do not eat. Some humpbacks feed in the southern ocean and go north to their reproductive areas! They can stay underwater for 30 mins but often dives for much shorter periods of time, usually 5 to 10 mins. Humpbacks emit high frequency ' clicks ' reaching 30000Hz. The males produce in frequencies between 20 & 90000 Hz. Whale songs are the longest and the most varied in all the animal kingdom, with repeated sequences about 15 mins long. When they are in cold waters, the humpback whale eats 2 tons of fish & planktonic crustaceans a day, in 2 to 4 meals. Where to look to find humpback whales: Summertime: Alaska, Cape cod, Vancouver (BC) Wintertime: Dominican Republic, Turks & Caicos Islands, Hawaii, Costa Rica, Tonga. you can visit these websites: Hawaiian islands humpback whale ...
