A humpback whale fluking in the ocean

Date Posted:

Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) engage is all sorts of interesting behaviour. Fluking, similar to lobtailing, is when a whale lifts its tail fin (or fluke) out of the water, usually at the beginning of a dive.

Humpback whales can be spotted off the coasts of the safari destinations of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Tanzania.

I was that kid who always took out six library books, and the first chance I got I ran off to explore the world I’d been reading about. I eventually hustled my way into a newspaper job in South America, and a career in word wizardry was born. Fast forward a decade and here I am, encouraging people to have adventures of their own, with Art of Safari.
