Summary
| Description |
Oh minke oh my! In July 2016, visitors to Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary had the pleasure of viewing a rather uncommon sight. A minke whale put on quite the show with a series of breaches through sanctuary waters! Minke whales rarely exhibit breaching behavior, and don't raise their flukes above the surface when diving deep into the water either. Their small size, pointy snout and short flippers make their movements quick and smooth at the surface -- what an incredible view! Photo Credit: Anne Smrcina/NOAA |
