A certain enchantment can sometimes develop between whales and the naturalists who observe them. For naturalist and wildlife photographer Renaud Pintiaux, it was his encounter with Tic Tac Toe that made a particular impression on him, and this animal once again inspires awe when the two cross paths on Tuesday afternoon: \u201cTic Tac Toe was the first humpback whale I ever saw,\u201d he writes. \u201cIt was 1999, well off the coast of Tadoussac<\/strong>, near \u00cele Rouge. She was tiny… about two years old. Since then, she has returned almost every year, and always around the same date, which happens to coincide with my birthday!. Now, at 25 years old, here she is again. The greatest joy possible… Tic Tac Toe is back. Now the season can officially start.\u201d<\/p>\n

This famous humpback seems to have her own habits: \u201cShe is often seen in early June for a few days, after which she leaves and comes back again in July for a longer period.\u201d In the course of his observations on June 28, Renaud Pintiaux also noticed other humpbacks in the area: \u201cThey were surface feeding. There were plenty of gulls around and they were probably eating krill. Earlier in the season I saw them mostly feeding on small sand lance and capelin. This is the first time this year I\u2019ve seen krill, which might also explain the return of several large whales.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
