About The Great Whale

Whales are among the largest animals ever to have lived on Earth, yet they move through the ocean with an almost impossible grace, a humpback can launch its full body clear of the surface in a breach that sends white water cascading for hundreds of feet. Beneath that quiet surface they travel in pods, nursing calves and navigating thousands of miles of open ocean on ancient migration routes. Their songs, long, haunting sequences that carry through the deep for remarkable distances, remain one of the most mysterious forms of communication in the natural world.
