Megaptera novaeangliae
A Humpback whale breastfeeding a calf.
These whales belong to a group that travels to the Sea of Cortez in their annual migration from the North Atlantic
Females turn upside down to breastfeed their calves. Happy calves jumping and playing around their mothers after being feed are a common and beautiful sight!

Thank you Samuya and Lauren. Adarsha: the tricky part is that they remain invisible underwater until the last second before jumping, but in this case, the mother gave away his position ;)
