EDITORS COMMENTS
. This incredible close-up of FG-EB-811, a Southern Right Whale off the coast of Patagonia, Argentina, reveals a fascinating feature - its callosity! Forget about eyebrows on humans; this majestic mammal sports these unique patches of rough skin where we'd typically find our brows. And guess what? These callosities are not just fashionable accessories; they serve as cozy homes to barnacles and "whale lice" also known as Cyamid crustaceans. Talk about multitasking! This rare snapshot captured by Francois Gohier showcases the beauty and diversity found in marine mammals. The Valdes Peninsula is renowned for its rich wildlife, making it an ideal spot to witness these endangered baleen whales up close. As FG-EB-811 gracefully glides through the water with its single blowhole exposed, you can't help but be mesmerized by its captivating eye. Those large orbs seem to hold secrets from the depths below. It's no wonder why marine enthusiasts flock to South America in search of such awe-inspiring encounters. So next time you think your eyebrows are impressive, take a moment to appreciate nature's creativity with creatures like FG-EB-811. Who needs traditional brows when you can have callosities adorned with barnacles and whale lice? Now that's eyebrow envy at a whole new level!
