 This is a humpback whale named Gator and he put on such a great show for us in Cape Cod!

Really a one? I give up!

Each humpback is tracked using the pattern on it's fluke. This humback is known as Gator. He weighs approx 70,000 pounds and the energy it takes for a whale to do this in incredible. It is a rare sight - I have been going out yearly for over 10 years and this is only the second time I have seen a breach.

Very unique moment! Title not really understood... (unless Gator refers to user name...)
