blue whale

Balaenoptera musculus

Description:

Boat captain said 80 ft. blue whale off the coast of Southern California (near Laguna Beach/Dana Point).

Habitat:

Pacific Ocean

Notes:

It was breathtaking to watch the whale dive and surface! So graceful and majestic. It saddens me to hear about whales caught in nets and struggling to swim.

Sorry guys for the inconvenience, the admin already know about this and they are working to fix it. Soon you will be able to upload 6 photos in one attempt! I promise!

luxswim, I was also having a few problems to start with. Make sure you don't try & upload a photo until the previous one is 100% loaded & appears on the page. Also I have found I can't successfully upload 6 photos in one attempt - 5 work OK but I always have a problem uploading a 6th. I have found that saving at 5 photos & then adding the 6th as an edit seems to solve the problem. Good luck!

Hi Carolina, I am having a problem with this site... I have uploaded one photo - 4 different times. Also tried another photo. It's not working correctly, right now. I'll try to repost later. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi luxswim, welcome to Project Noah!
Blue whales are my favorite and I wouldn't miss a chance to see pictures of them, can I ask you to upload pictures number 1,2 and 5 again? They didn't upload properly, sorry for the inconvenience!
