Gotham Whale
Four Sowerby’s beaked whales were observed durin Four Sowerby’s beaked whales were observed during the @american_princess_cruises’ August offshore trip to Hudson Canyon. @ackermancelia has been on multiple trips to this biodiversity hotspot caused by an upwelling of nutrient-rich water and a range of habitat types. Sowerby’s beaked whales are attracted to deep water where they they use suction to feed on squid and small, deep-sea fish. Since these skittish whales are seen so rarely, there is still a lot left to learn about them. Gotham Whale is excited to be collecting marine mammal sighting reports of species observed near the proposed national marine sanctuary #HudsonCanyonNMS. We hope to continue to learn more about our local whales, dolphins, and seals with help from our research partners and Citizen Scientists like you. Did you know a place like this existed just 100 miles offshore from NYC?
Did you know that each of a whale’s eyes see a c Did you know that each of a whale’s eyes see a completely different view! A whale’s eyes are located on opposite sides of their head. This type of vision is called monocular. In each of these photos, you can take a peek at an open whale eye! Celia Ackerman, who took these photos, spends a lot of time observing whales. When a whale watches us, we call it ‘spying’. On September 25, 2022, this whale swam over to the @american_princess_cruises and spied us while slapping its pectoral fin.
