The 20 ton humpback humpback whale stands on the sea surface

The vertical jump lasts two seconds of the giant Australian humpback whale entering the lens of an amateur photographer.

John Goodridge, who specializes in whale watching, has the opportunity to witness the impressive 9-meter humpback whale show off several kilometers away from Sydney Heads, New South Wales, and Australia. , according to Long Room. Because whales rushed up just before the passenger ship turned to shore, only a few lucky people could follow its two-second jump.

Just two days earlier, John also saw a massive humpback whale jumping up to less than 100 meters from a full-size cruiser. According to John, the size of adult whales compared to the ship shows how small humans really are.

"There are about 70 people on the boat watching the whales. We went to the sea for about two hours and it was about time to return to the shore. Suddenly, the humpback whale jutted out of the water and made a vertical jump. The whale always leans sideways but the whale jumps in a perfect straight line. I have never seen a similar scene before. It is very rare. Most people don't say anything. " , John shared.

John said this could be an 8 year old humpback whale, weighing over 20 tons and 9 meters long. Adult humpback elephants can weigh 50 tons and 18 meters long. The eastern coast of Australia has been active from April to November each year when the humpback whales make a 10,000 km journey from Antarctica to Australia to mate and breed.
