A pair of pygmy blue whale viewed from above | Sri Lanka
Top-down view of two blue whales, just after they swam past. This pair may be the pygmy sub-species of blue whale, Balaenoptera musculus brevicauda. They were engaged in social activity at the surface, and were relaxed when they swam past. I estimate that the whales were between 20 and 25 meters long.
