Unmatched image of a 3,000 meter deep whale

The researchers first recorded Cuvier's snout-like whale with a drone in a conservation area.

Scientists on the R / V research vessel Martin Sheen of the Sea Shepherd Ocean Conservation Foundation for the first time use unmanned aerial vehicles to record the rare image of Cuvier bighead whale off the coast of Guadalupe , Mexico, EcoWatch on 3/6 reported.

Cuvier's special snorkeling ability makes it difficult to research.

Cuvier bighead whale is considered to be the most spectacular diving mammal in the world with the ability to dive to a depth of about 3,000m and stay underwater for two hours without breathing up.

This unprecedented video of Cuvier bream whale was made on May 20, with 5 fish appearing, including mother and daughter."We can see what we've never seen before and how they turn around and look at each other," said Dr. Barbara Taylor.

"Cuvier's special snorkeling dive ability makes it difficult to study , " said American scientist Jenny Trickey. "The drone must always be in a ready position and be launched as soon as a whale is discovered."

The appearance of the mother-in-the-mouth whale showing Guadalupe Island may be the breeding ground for this species. The discovery of a large number of Cuvier bighead whales around the island in October 2016 and May 2017 also shows that they may be native species.

Cuvier is a rare creature, always looking for ways to avoid humans. They usually live in deep waters, small children are light brown, the bigger the skin becomes whiter. Adults are about 5-7 m long, weighing 2.5 tons.
