Cetacea Balaenidae Baleen Whales Breaching Eubalaena Australis Mysticeti Southern Right Whale
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this awe-inspiring print captured by Ken Findlay from Universal Images Group (UIG), we witness the magnificent moment of a Southern Right Whale breaching the surface of the ocean. The sheer power and grace displayed by this massive creature is truly mesmerizing. As the sunlight dances upon its sleek, dark body, every detail becomes vividly apparent - from the distinctive V-shaped blowhole to the rough patches on its skin caused by barnacles and whale lice. With water cascading off its enormous frame, it seems as if time stands still for just an instant. The Southern Right Whale, scientifically known as Eubalaena australis, belongs to a group called baleen whales or mysticeti. These gentle giants are characterized by their baleen plates instead of teeth which they use to filter-feed on tiny organisms such as krill and plankton. This breathtaking display of breaching is not only a natural behavior but also serves various purposes for these majestic creatures. It could be a form of communication with other members in their pod or simply an exuberant expression of joy. As we gaze at this remarkable image, we are reminded of our profound connection with nature and how fortunate we are to share this planet with such incredible beings. Let us cherish and protect them so that future generations can continue to marvel at their beauty and wonderment in our vast oceans.
