Keep your friends close and your mother closer
Did you know humpback whale calves stay near their mothers for up to one year before weaning? Mothers are protective of their calves, swimming closely and often touching them with their flippers. In the long-term, calves are likely to be found in the same feeding and breeding areas as their mothers.
Happy Mother’s Day from your National Marine Sanctuary System!
