Hey baby! Amazing photos of newborn whale calves playing in the waters off the South Australian coast




I t's playtime! Amazing photos give a rare glimpse of newborn southern right whale calves, swimming with their parents in the beautiful blue waters off the coast of South Australia.

The spectacular photos were taken from a helicopter, as a part of an aerial monitoring project which spotted 227 southern right whales, including three white calves, as well as two humpback whales and three great white sharks.



The Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources were able to gain some insight into marine life behaviour in the waters at the Great Australian Bight Marine Park.

We are lucky enough to have these beautiful creatures calling Australia home for around five months a year, before they make the journey home to Antarctica at the end of October.
