Minke Whale
Photo Album
The smallest baleen whale that we
seen on a pretty regular basis is the Minke Whale. Unfortunately, this
species is still hunted by Japan, Norway, and Iceland so they are understandably
still very wary of boats and can sometimes be difficult to get good looks
at. Still, every now and then you come across some Minke Whales who seem
to be more than happy to give us a chance to watch them go about their
business. All photos were taken on the Granite
State Whale Watch out of Rye, NH.

Minke Whales aren't
|
|
individually identified like
|
|
other species, but there
|
|
are a few Minkes out there
|
|
that are easy to identified
|
|
and recognize. This is
|
|
definitely the case with
