Humpback Whale Tail Slap | Megaptera novaeangliae
This is a humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) demonstrating the tremendous power of its fluke and caudal musculature. The whale has just lifted its fluke out of the water prior to whipping it back to hit the ocean. This produces a loud percussive sound that reveberates through both air and water.
