Up-Close Caribbean Encounter With a Sleeping Humpback Whale

Researcher Kieran Bown travelled to Turks and Caicos early this year hoping to spot some whales. He described how they had great success in “the surrounding waters of Great Sand Cay”, however of all the whales they encountered, this relaxed, sleeping humpback was likely the most unique. According to Bown, “the whale was completely at peace in the water and remaining silent we floated and observed getting a great look at the giant”. Credit: YouTube/Kieran Bown
