Witness the majestic power of nature as an adult humpback whale, with its silhouette against the breathtaking backdrop of the Chilkat Mountains, performs a mesmerizing tail slap in the Lynn Canal of Alaska's Inside Passage. The resounding echo reverberates through the Tongass National Forest, leaving spectators in awe of this incredible display. In Southeast Alaska's Chatham Strait, researchers are treated to another remarkable sight as an adult humpback whale gracefully tail-slaps near them, showcasing its strength and agility. Meanwhile, off Mala Wharf in Maui's AuAu Channel, a Pacific Ocean-dwelling humpback whale astounds onlookers with its powerful fluke slapping against the water's surface. Moving south to California's Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, Baird's beaked whales and transient killer whales join in on this captivating behavior - their tails crashing down or lobbing into view. Even young orcas partake in this impressive act while exploring Tracy Arm in southeast Alaska. These tail slaps and fluke slaps serve various purposes for these magnificent creatures - from communication and courtship rituals to hunting techniques or simply expressing joyous exuberance. Regardless of their motivations, these displays remind us of nature's grandeur and leave an indelible mark on our hearts and minds.
