The magic of Walker Bay 🐳

Just some food for thought. SRW's have massive mouths totaling about 30% of their body length. they grow to lengths of 13 to 16 metres. The mouth dimensions would be 5m long, 2.5 m wide and approx 3m from top jaw to bottom jaw when fully open. The mouth houses on average 250 baleen plates on either side, hanging from the top jaw (rostrum). The baleen plates have been known to grow to lengths of 2.2 to 2.4 metres. The baleen plates act as a filtration system when feeding.
Going through my archives I came across this beaut. Enjoy.

Popular Woodstock Beach in the Cape Town of yesteryear.

It is undeniable that the Mother City has gone through some serious changes over the years. One of the most prominent for us has to be the Woodstock area which, believe it or not used to be home to a flourishing beachfront, frequented by locals on a daily basis.
