Leopard Sperm Whale by KeriWilk A sperm whale in Dominica, with nice dappled lighting. Shot under government permit.

I read this as “Leonard Sperm Whale.” Like there’s a giant Sperm Whale just chilling in the ocean and someone named him Leonard.

Leonard would be a beautiful name for a Sperm Whale.

Humpback whale by Joost van Uffelen

From as early as June and July humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) start to appear along the shores of South Africa and Mozambique after travelling thousands of kilometers from Antarctica. These massive on average 12 to 16 meter long mammals have only one goal and that is arriving on their mating and calving grounds as far up north as Kenya. This whale is a newborn humpback calf of about 6m in length.
