Southern right whales congregate in South African breeding grounds to mate and calve during the winter. During this time these whales are often very active and will put on displays such as breaching, lobtailing and spyhopping. They also spend a lot of time interacting with each other as well as with their environment (such as through rolling and surfing in the waves and playing with seaweed).
