The SA Whale Disentanglement Network says more and more giants of the ocean are becoming victims of rock lobster trappings and that solving this problem is a priority.

FACTS & FIGURES

It seems that we are experiencing a rather lovely season this year (not that last year was bad..)

Description:
Humpbacks are one of the easiest species for researchers and whale watchers alike to identify. You really can't miss their flippers, which may be as much as one-third of their total body length. Their knobbly heads are also unmistakable, and they have 12 to 36 throat grooves which expand when the whale is feeding using baleen instead of teeth.

The smallest of the whales described is present in our waters all year round.
