Taking a breather. World Whale Day
Ahoy there, giants of the sea! World Whale Day is surfacing, along with these sperm whales off the coast of the Caribbean island of Dominica. Established in 1980 in Maui, the day originally aimed to celebrate the humpback whales in Hawaiian waters but has evolved into a global event for all 92 whale species.
