Southern Right Whale (Eubalaena australis)
2 of 3
Two Southern Right Whales were close to the rocky headland just west of Cheynes Beach. Based on their behaviour and size, we concluded that they were a female with its offspring. The female is the one with its tail in the air, apparently a common behaviour of mother whales. The young whale is closer to the camera.
