July 9: Off the coast of Matane<\/b>, a humpback whale takes a dive. All eyes focus on its black-and-white tail; it\u2019s Boom Boom River (BBR)!, also known in the Estuary as Gaspar<\/a>. On the morning of July 11, Gaspar was photographed during a whale-watching cruise in the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park<\/b>, not far from Tadoussac<\/b>. Thus, in less than 48 hours, the whale covered roughly 175 kilometres! <\/span><\/p>\n

Whales are champion swimmers and, when they get moving, they can travel hundreds of kilometres a day. Swimming speeds<\/a> vary depending on the species, the individual, and the activity being carried out. Even when resting, whales don\u2019t sit still. In addition to swimming at a good pace, whales also have endurance. So if a whale decides to set out on an adventure, good luck trying to keep up! Imagine, a fin whale can maintain speeds of 37 to 41\u00a0km\/h, with peaks of 46\u00a0km\/h. <\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk about Gaspar again. She has joined at least eight other humpback whales in the Marine Park, including Tic Tac Toe<\/a> and her calf. Several of the humpbacks identified are still juveniles, including Chewbacca<\/a>. Sexual maturity in this species occurs at around 5 years of age. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
