Fluke Squared SW14
$119.00 USD
This is a scene from a large gathering of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) that were traveling across open ocean. While it is nearly impossible to count the number of individuals accurately in situations like this, my best estimate is that there were around 100 whales, based on the number of whales I could see at the surface at any given moment.
This individual in the foreground drew my attention because of her interesting fluke. See how the right side is squared off?
I don’t know what caused this. It could’ve been an injury that had healed. It could also have been that way from birth. In any event, the truncated shape didn’t seem to affect her ability to swim. You can see other members of her social unit approaching from the background, framed by the upward sweep of the whale’s fluke.
This is a Collector's Edition Print. Each print is numbered and chopped with my logo. Sizes listed are the dimensions of the printed image in inches (see FAQ for equivalent sizes in centimeters). There is an additional white border around the image to allow for framing. A complete list of image and paper sizes can be found in the FAQ.
