CANADA ~ Humpback Whale - Newfoundland and Labrador ~

....It's always a pleasure to get a wonderful new whale card for my collection💚... spectacular sight of the "gentle giant of the ocean" the biggest animal on Earth... they are the true “acrobats of the sea” with jumps out of the water and tail and flipper slaps.... the province of Newfoundland and Labrador is one of the most spectacular places in the world for whale watching... whether it's from the deck of a tour boat, the side of your sea kayak, or a seaside trail... to see one of the most majestic animals in the wild must be an awesome and unforgettable experience... with nice stamps and postmarked on December 31, the last day of 2018...Thanks a lot Glenn!!  (✿ ♥‿♥)




The world's largest population of feeding humpback whales is found here. Migrating from the Caribbean, they spend from May to September in the waters off Newfoundland and Labrador.

35,000 of these 40 ton and up to 18 meter long giants come here to feed on capelin, krill, and squid along the coast.

They are often seen "breaching" or jumping out of the water and crashing into the waves.
