Have you ever seen a Dwarf Minke Whale? Dwarf Minke Whales are less common in Hervey Bay than humpbacks, but we are thrilled to occasionally encounter them!⭐️ They are the smallest of the great rorqual whales, reaching up to 10.7 meters (35 feet) long and weighing up to 9,072 kg (10 tons)! 🙌 They are currently recognized as an “undescribed subspecies of the common minke whale,” and they are smaller than the common and Antarctic minke whales.🐋 These whales are incredibly fast, with a maximum sp

Open wide: Dwarf Minke Whale. Minke whales feed by side-lunging into schools of prey and gulping large amounts of water. They won't feed like this when visiting the waters of the northern Great Barrier Reef, but sometimes you'll still get to see this gulping display. Not long to go until they'll be back for this year's season. Report any sightings using the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority Eye on the Reef app. 📽 Master Reef Guide Pablo Cogollos with Mike Ball Dive Expeditions | Master R

Up close with a dwarf minke whale. (Video by @seajewlz) The minkes of the Southern Hemisphere are divided into two different subspecies, the dwarf minke and the Antarctic minke. Dwarf minkes are around 3-4 feet (1-1.2 m) smaller in length than the Antarctic subspecies. They might be "dwarfs" in the whale world, but are still about the size of a double decker bus, growing up to 26 ft (8 m) and 14,000 lbs (6 metric tons)! | Ocean Conservation Research - OCR

Minke whale dies after colliding with boat off Jersey Shore coast

Unfortunately, this minke whale never stood a chance against these apex predators. At least 30 orcas from multiple family groups worked together to hunt the minke whale, eventually sharing the prey after the hunt was over. Minke whales are the smallest baleen whale species found in North American waters. The footage, captured by Evan Brodsky and Monterey Bay Whale Watch (@monterey_bay_whale_watch) on April 2, is only the 6th time in almost 40 years that killer whales have been recorded successfu

Meet the minke whale, smooth, subtle, and totally unbothered. While most whales are out here breaching and making a splash, the minke glides under the radar. It’s the smallest of the rorqual family, but don’t let that fool you, this streamlined swimmer can reach speeds of up to 25 mph. And unlike its more flamboyant cousins, it rarely breaches or fluke-dives. Just pure, minimalist cool. Minkes are opportunistic feeders, often zig-zagging through bait balls with precision. Instead of the dramatic
