| Other Information: |
Swimming around for over an hour that we were watching. Could see blow hole, ridges under chin. Large animal. Surfacing a few times, then would disappear for a good while, then reappear somewhere else. Usually just back and dorsal showing in a hooped shape as it surfaced for air and went under again. At times head could be seen, half out of the water as it surfaced and went under again. |
