An incredible and unique opportunity was experienced by a group of friends who went for a walk by the sea in the enchanting waters of Eastern Mani in Mezapos.
Shark sightings in the Greek seas can be rare, but there are exceptions that have been recorded by amateur cameras in recent years, showing that in cases where they appear in shallow water, the last to be seen! dreads are bathers!
An inflatable whale was surprised to see the passengers of the inflatable on the afternoon of Friday, August 28 “Front” from Mezapos, a few kilometers from Gerolimenas.
In front of them was one of the most impressive animals on the planet, a whale about 18-20 meters high, with a huge body of great weight and it began to play in front of them for a long time! Maneuvers, dives and a characteristic noise that made the water blow. Experts say she was male, as she was single and large.
Fortunately, in their great joy and the adrenaline rushing up, they caught and took their mobile phones and saved this unique “encounter” forever in their memory but also on their computer.
The humpback whale belongs to the category of mammals “whales” just like other whales and dolphins. It is 11-18 m long. She holds the record for diving whales, as she can dive to a depth of 2,250 m.
Bellows resemble whales, but they have teeth (rather than whales), which is why they are considered relatives of dolphins. To feed on the squid, the bellows dive to a depth of 500-1,000 m. For 25-60 minutes for males and for 20-24 minutes for females, although the deepest dives recorded were close to 2,000 m and 2 hours. Blowers live 70 years or more. Males reach 18 m and 57 tons, while females 12.5 m and 24 tons.
