EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this epic snapshot captured by the talented photographer Francois Gohier, we witness a jaw-dropping performance by none other than FG-9637, the Humpback Whale sensation! This charismatic marine mammal takes center stage in Alaska's breathtaking coastal backdrop, showcasing its impressive flipper slapping skills. With mountains as their audience and water as their dance floor, these baleen whales sure know how to make a splash. As FG-9637 gracefully leaps out of the ocean depths, its massive flippers create a thunderous applause that echoes through the entire habitat. It's like they're saying, "Hey everyone, check out my incredible communication moves!". Flipper slaps are not only an awe-inspiring sight but also play a crucial role in whale society. These gentle giants use this unique technique to communicate with one another across vast distances. Whether it's announcing their presence or expressing excitement and joy – flipper slapping is their way of making waves! So next time you find yourself exploring Alaska's stunning coastline, keep your eyes peeled for these magnificent creatures and their mesmerizing performances. And if you happen to capture such a moment on camera like Francois Gohier did with FG-9637 here, remember to cherish it as nature's own spectacular show!
