As many of you guys would have heard about Japan has set out to hunt whales in the name of research. Everybody knows that it is for consumption that they are hunting. Being in Australia and also recently acquired my diving licence in Australia, I can truly understand the passion that Australians have for whale watching. Whales are truly the gentle giants of the sea. They are also very smart creatures.
Watching the following YouTube video on how these whales hunt their prey.

It is sad that Humpback whales are endangered. If the hunting continues there will not be any for our grandchildren to watch.
Another interesting fact is about Migaloo, the only documented albino humpback whale. Australians take pride in this special whale. Its sightings are recorded in the following website.
Please, I urge my readers to support Greenpeace in preventing whale slaughter.
