The artwork on the underside of a whales tail is individual to each and every whale (just like a humans thumbprint!).

Humpback Whale Mugging!!
A mugging is where the whales come to, and swim around the boat in super close proximity. We managed to turn our engines off and float with these whales for over 40mins yesterday enjoying their curious behaviour.

Headed out this morning for a whale watching cruise as weather looked good. Humpback Whales migrated up then down the East Coast of Australia between June through October. You can also swim with them here on the Gold Coast with our friends at Tweed Gold Coast Dive Charters(do cruises as well).

Fun fact:

Humpback whales are baleen whales which means they do not have teeth! As you can see in this shot captured by our on board photographer , the whales have a series of 270-400 baleen plates which are made out of keratin.🐋

As the humpback whale closes its mouth, it uses its tongue to expel the water through the bristly baleen plates. The food stays in its mouth to be swallowed whole and digested. ✔️
