I succeeded in capturing a humpback flapping its tail! I spent a glorious day out on a boat tour, with about 25 other American tourists. I am exhausted, red as a lobster, and still swaying with the sea, but it is a day I enjoyed beyond measure. We saw many whales as well as dolphins and a tortoise of some kind, plus some multicolored fish. But watching these whales breach and play and flap and even seem to wave their fins goodbye was the highlight. (The boat was very rocky, so it was difficult to maintain the aim of my camera; forgive the shakiness).
That's pretty awesome! I wonder why the whale does that?
