"Spectacular Race: Rare Photos Capture Ocean Giants' Behavior in Australia"

Rare photos captured a "spectacular" event of blue whales engaging in "racing behavior" off the southern coast of Australia, where a female blue whale was pursued by two competing males in a high-speed chase. The behavior, observed by Peter Gill of the Blue Whale Study, is believed to be linked to mating as the whales prepare to migrate away from Australian feeding grounds. The event showcased the massive power and grace of these ocean giants, providing a unique insight into their behavior and social dynamics.
