Description
A humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) emerges from the ocean and breaches near the town of Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii.
This breaching behaviour consists of jumping out of the water and twirling around. It may occur just once or numerous times. There are many theories as to why whales breach, and all of them uncertain, according to the Whale Trust Organization.
These theories are numerous. They include 1) the transmission and communication of messages 2) territorial in nature 3) cleansing and/or 4) playful entertainment.
Apart from breaching, humpback whales also sometimes hit the top of the water using either their heads, tails or fins.
