Just Hangin’ Out
May 16th, 2010
Did You know that the humpback whales sometimes rest vertically with their heads facing the ocean floor? Neither did I, until I saw the DisneyNature movie Oceans Mother’s Day weekend.
Imagine this creature, 40-50 feet long, silently suspended in the middle of the ocean, taking a nap. Sometimes there may be two of them side by side as well. They don’t sleep for hours like we do, but rest is still necessary.
That was just one of the things I learned, and just one of the amazing bits of photography in the movie. If it’s still in your area (last year’s movie wasn’t out long) I highly recommend you see it with your family. Kids under 5 or 6 may get bored because there isn’t much of a story to follow, but older animal lovers of all ages will be fascinated.
Be Inspired!
