... Last 3 wonderful postcards from dear postcard friend
Glenn💜.... and it's always a great pleasure to get wonderful new whale cards (all showing in this post) for my collection👍... spectacular sights 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 and extraordinary animals in the wild must be an unforgettable experience... and you wrote that you saw lots of them ... must admit, I'm a bit jealous😉... whale watching has become a popular Eco-tourism activity worldwide... Big Thanks

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.
Humpback Whales measure 4 to 5 meters at birth and grow to 19 meters and 48 tons. They 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.

From backside postcard:
These tails from three different humpback whales, each spotting orca bite marks. Newfoundland and Labrador is home to the world's largest gathering of playful humpbacks. With markings as distinctive as fingerprints, the different tail patters are used to identify individuals and study their populations.
The upper left photo shows a B-pod orca, recognizable by its distinctive dorsal fin, checking out a Wildland Tours' guest.
