Fluke & Drips: Sperm Whale, Kaikoura, NZ

            Whale watching is exciting, but getting a really good shot is very difficult. This was taken a few miles off the coast near Kaikoura, New Zealand's South Island. The waters get very deep, even this close to shore. VIEW Large, catch the drops.

Please: no use in any media without my express permission.

PRESS F if you like him!  ( Its probably a him as this is where juvenile males gather to feed).
