Cloud Oldest documented Whale






Hello Everyone
Went out whale watching this morning although today was a bit foggy the sun tried to peek through. At least the sea conditions were great the water looked like glass out there today. Today we sighted the oldest known documented whale named "Cloud". Cloud is a male and he was sighted from when he was a calf until now. He is now 32 years old. Although there is older whales than him researchers sighted cloud when he was a calf when the study of whales had first begun. It was great to see him today because we haven't sighted him all summer. We had reports he was over in the Grand Manan area hanging out. He was feeding and boy his breath sure smelled of fish ! Peeeeeeyooooooo!
He also found a bit of kelp to roll in and enjoy. He is some pics from today
Enjoy!
