Most people know that blue whales are the largest animals that have ever lived on earth, reaching up to 33 m in length! We are so lucky to still have these gentle giants swimming in our oceans. Despite their large size, they aren't always easy to find out in the big blue. Whaling reduced some populations down to 1% of their pre-whaling numbers! It's such a humbling experience to be able to encounter these incredible animals.

Although mostly solitary, sometimes blue whales travel together in pairs or small groups
