Breaching Humpback Whale! - 18/8/23

This beautiful qᵂənɛs, was just south of Klahoose Wlderness Resort in the Forbes Bay, ʔap̓uk̓ʷum, in the Klahoose First Nation territory. We watched her (in my mind it’s a female) slapping her tail, fins, and then breaching.
There are various theories as to why humpbacks display these behaviors…communication, stunning prey, and removing barnacles and lice. Regardless of why, it’s breathtaking to watch.
