Southern Right Whale - white calf with mother
off Puerto Piramide, Valdes Peninsula, Chubut Province, Patagonia, Argentina
Eubalaena australis
Each season a few white calves are born in the population that breeds off the Valdes Peninsula. Similar youngsters are also born among the southern right whales that breed off Australia. They are mostly white, with a sprinkling of black spots and dark areas. English-speaking people affectionately call them little Dalmatians of the Sea. In Argentina, they become refered to as "el Blanquito", the little white one.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a rare and beautiful moment in the waters off Puerto Piramide, Valdes Peninsula, Chubut Province, Patagonia, Argentina. A Southern Right Whale mother swims gracefully alongside her white calf, showcasing the bond between parent and offspring in the animal kingdom.
The sight of a white calf among this population is truly special, as only a few are born each season. These unique youngsters are mostly white with black spots and dark areas, earning them endearing nicknames like "little Dalmatians of the Sea" by English speakers and "el Blanquito" in Argentina.
Photographer François Gohier has expertly captured this intimate moment between mother and child, highlighting the beauty and vulnerability of these endangered marine mammals. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect these majestic creatures for future generations to admire.
As you gaze upon this print, let yourself be transported to the tranquil waters where these magnificent whales roam freely. Let their presence inspire you to appreciate the wonders of nature and strive towards preserving our precious marine ecosystems for years to come.
