Mojo the Humpback Whale Dances with a Suitor

Mojo the female whale flows gracefully in the presence of a male suitor. She is easily recognizable due to distinctive scarring across her belly as result of being entangled in fishing gear. Fishermen in the North Atlantic feared that she was so badly entangled that she would not survive, but somehow she managed to free herself, thus earning the name "Mojo". My talented friend @jocelynscofield has blended humpback whale song with musical accompaniment to accent this clip.

Always spectacular, thank you for your videos!

She is graceful and beautiful despite her scars.

Such a beautiful sight! Thank you! 🙏

I have always wondered how it is that our affinity for whales and they for us seems so instinctive.

Even before children have the words to express their delight at seeing a whale, they seem to have the knowledge/awareness that whales are friends, not foes.

Your footage is, as usual, absolutely sublime. Very good music as well, your friend is talented.

Is there usually any noticeable difference in size between the bulls and the cows? I have heard that females are a little larger in baleen whales, with blue and fin whale females particularly outweighing smaller males by well over 10 tons.

(And then of course there's sperm whales, where the reverse is the case, and bulls are so colossal that they utterly dwarf the cows)

But the distinction seems far less pronounced in the more robust baleens...Right whales and humpbacks seem almost equal in terms of length and bulk as far as the sexes are concerned.

Can you feel the vibrations very strongly in the water when they sing, Susan?

The only complaint I have about your videos is that they need to be longer! Otherwise, catching these gorgeous beings doing their natural actions is absolutely amazing.

How does a whale react when you grab their fin? They're so beautiful. I would love to do that. I must live ubiquitously through all of you.🐋😃
