On February 8, 2025, kayaker Adrián Simancas was briefly swallowed by a humpback #whale off #Chile’s coast. The whale surfaced unexpectedly, engulfing him and his kayak, then released him unharmed seconds later. The incident was captured on video by his father.

Rachel Moore meets Sweet Girl, a beloved young #whale known for her gentle nature; who tragically lost her life after being hit & killed by a vessel. She suffered for hours. Her death shows the need to slow down ferries during whale season. #photo: Sina Ritter #UnderwaterPhotography #photography

This magical moment happened in Baja California. The mom pushed her calf toward us! But there is more... this whale holds one of the longest migrations of any mammal. Gray whales travel roughly 16,000–22,000 km round-trip every year. #whale #ocean #sealife #scuba #photography

#WorldWhaleDay 🐳 Kwakwaka'wakw artist Baleen #Whale Mask, 19th c. Alert Bay, Cormorant Is., BC, Canada Cedarwood, pigment, hide, cotton cord, metal nail “Climate in Crisis: Environmental Change in the Indigenous Americas” @ Brooklyn Museum (2023) #IndigenousArt #FirstNationsArt See ALT for more info

“Kwakwaka'wakw artist
Baleen Whale Mask, 19th century
Alert Bay, Cormorant Island, British Columbia, Canada

Marine animals, including whales, were long part of the Northwest Coast peoples' diet. Whale hunting required courage, physical strength, and technical knowledge. This mask was likely worn by a Kwakwaka'wakw chief during winter potlatch ceremonies to demonstrate his prestige and celebrate the bounty of the sea. Wearing the heavy mask along his back, the dancer used interior cords to manipulate the fins, mouth, and tail and to mimic swimming and diving. The privilege of performing with a mask, along with the related stories, is passed down through the generations; tribe members perform the whale dance to this day.”
