Sperm whale's close up da Cristina Marcolin

Caudal peduncle of a sperm whale. The animal was right in front of the lens and dived soon after the picture. Incredible experience with a super-curious sperm whale!
✶Pictured during minus tides, with Sea Stars, Anemones, Kelp, & Seaweed. ✶
∴ Minus tides have become a sacred place for me, being able to walk among these creatures in their habitats is something to be greatly moved by. Majority of the time I feel like I am walking among the galaxies; Sea Stars & Giant Green Anemones covering the rocks all around me, along with the snapping & popping of the mussels I can hear. These environments are only exposed a handful of times throughout the year, so it’s imperative to get out there when it does. Grateful to live where I am able to get out & do this. ∴
Thank you for following! ♡
Up to 41 tonnes... of pure grace and serenity 🙏😇🐋 . Apart from being enormous predators battling even bigger squids in the deep dark ocean... Sperm whales are just beautiful, peaceful creatures almost effortlessly cruising through the ocean... 🌊 . Like many other marine mammals they form close bonds within their pods, communicate in a highly intelligent way, share maternal responsibilities and live rich, emotional and multifaceted lives 😇 . Let's not forget about the whales. Ban on commercial whaling has been a huge help for them in the '80s, but nowadays it's only the tip of the (melting) iceberg. Sperm whale population is still only recovering after centuries of unrestricted hunting and they need every help they can get to grow strong and resilient again ❤️. . 📸 Check out @robertoochoahe profile for more fantastic scenes from the underworld! . . . #clueintheblue #freshnsalty #spermwhale #whalesareawesome #whales #bluewhalewatching #whalesofInstagram #oceanawareness #onlyoneocean #marinebiodiversity #oceandecade #marinephotography #marinewildlife #oceancreatures #oceanwildlife #seaanimals #underwateremotions #underwaterimages #underwaterphoto #uwpic #scubagram #uwphotographer #savetheseas https://www.instagram.com/p/CSPShdYKKNs/?utm_medium=tumblr

has a flat and tall body with small scales and a mouth that is slightly sticking out, as in ‘protruding’.
They roam around either in couples or groups or in large schools
They can be approached easily by divers since they have a very curious mind.
In terms of biomass, the Great Sardine Run that occurs every year along the eastern coastline of South Africa is thought to rival the Great Migration of the Masai Mara and Serengeti, which involves millions of wildebeest, zebra, antelope and other large herbivores. No-one quite knows how many sardines are involved in this marine migration, but their colossal shoals produce a feeding frenzy that provides food for a number of species, including sharks, seals, penguins, dolphins and even whales.

I was shooting photos of the a’ama crabs, but kept seeing all these round blobs on the rocks with them. My eye sight is not the greatest, so it wasn’t until I got home and zoomed in on my computer while editing that I realized what they were. They’re ha 'uke 'uke (helmet or shingle urchins). I wish I had realized and gotten photos more photos of them, but I’ll have to save that for my next trip. . . . . . #sessumsphotography #crabsofinstagram #seaurchins #helmeturchin #shingleurchin #haukeuke #aama #crab #urchin #oceanlife #sealife #saltwaterlife #hawaiiansealife #hawaiianoceanlife #hawaiianislands #seacreatures #oceancreatures #naturalhabitat #marinelife #marinephotography #naturephotography #oceanphotography #oceanlover #marinebiology #surf #naturelover #travelphotography #texaswomenphotographers⭕️ #wpcteam⭕️ #sealover (at Magic Island, Waikiki, O'ahu, Hi.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaKZxiyrsVh/?utm_medium=tumblr
