If you were on the boat February 6th, this is one of the Humpback whales we encountered - meet 'Crafty'!

A very well documented Humpback whale documented 131 times and well known to whale watching operators in Monterey Bay, Crafty is a new Humpback whale for the Huatulco catalog 🤩

Named "Crafty" for the scars looking like a sewing needle and rubber stamp on the right fluke.

Exciting news from Happywhale as one of the Humpback whales we encountered on January 21st, 2025, has not been seen before.

So we have added another new whale to the international catalog of the Central American Humpback whale population.

As this population segment is still considered at risk of extinction it is always exciting to document a new individual.

Guests on our January 29th tour, do you remember the whale with the large bumps all over it's body?

Well it is a well known female known as 'Admiral Balaen' that has been recorded 24 times since 1987 from Nicaragua all the way to northern California.

A new whale in the Huatulco Project Megaptera catalog, we hope that the skin condition of 'Admiral Balaen' isn't anything serious!

https://happywhale.com/individual/1006

Thanks to Happywhale and to our guests for joining our adventures.

Admiral Balaen was adopted and named through the Oceanic Society and Whales of Guerrero Research Project by patron “S. R. Sisson”. She is known as a female from a genetic sample during the SPLASH project conducted by Cascadia Research Collective and collaborators
