This a WOW picture 🐋 Spyhop whale Taken by @eliannedipp with @sonyalpha . . . . Spy hopping behavior consist of the cetacean holding itself vertically in the water and kicking with its tail fluke in order to hold its head above the water line. Some individuals are able to keep this up for minutes at a time. It is quite similar to treading water for a human, although likely somewhat more difficult for cetaceans because they are less buoyant in water than we are. . . . . #whale #humpbackwhale #ocan #wildlifephotography #wildnature
