Tanya van Graan Instagram – #Repost @oceanramsey ・・・ #SouthernRightWhales swimming right up to us this morning out filming for @theapexexpedition off the tip of #southafrica Drone by @juansharks We took the icy plunge to photograph them in the area the local fishermen had taken us to scout for the #GreatWhiteSharks they have been seeing along this beautiful coast. If there were any great #whitesharks in the area I wouldn’t have seen them because the water clarity wasn’t even good enough to see the head of the whale from the tip of its tail but such a cool experience (in every aspect) regardless. #RightWhales we’re hunted easily because of their calm approachable demeanor. Since being given protection in 1937 the southern right whale populations are recovering but the northern right whale populations are still classified as endangered. #savewhales #savetheocean #helpsavesharks #oneocean #apex180 #africa with @tanyavangraan @iamjuliawheeler #theapexexpedition #conservationist #conservation #science #marinebiology #explore #gobeyond #djimavicpro #dronewhale #ocean #beautiful The whales you’re listening to are #HumpbackWhales I recorded with my cetacean #research #technology #hydrophone in #Hawaii #afrikaans @oneoceanglobal @oneoceanresearch
