Bryde’s whale sighting New South Wales, Australia. We know so little about Bryde’s whales in Australian waters. Everytime there is a sighting, I get excited! 📸Thank you to legend and co author Brett Dixon #whale #australia #nsw #brydeswhale #drone

FAKE! This is the worst AI video I have seen. Let’s just reconnect with a touch of real biology. I am pro AI, just when used correctly…. Humans and AI get things wrong, that’s ok! Whale-come. #ai #artificelintelligence #pov #fyp #ocean

Wait, what is this? Ohhhh, it’s whale milk. Fact: humpback whale mums whale feed their calves thick, fatty rich milk. As you can see- it’s juicy. Thank you to Valentina Prida @heywhalentina who captured this today in the beautiful waters of the Kingdom of Tonga. #whale #tonga #pov #fyp

POV: how the lyrics to @madonna ‘s song takes on a whole new meaning as a whale scientist. Whale you’re here: did you know whales have belly buttons?! Whale-come, have a great day… night if you’re in New York! #pov #newyork #fyp #travel #selfie

Heat run and a cup of krill? Speaking of krill, let’s leave krill in the ocean for whales- whale-come. Listen up new students- this is a small example of how we scientists can communicate complex biology and science- fun hey?! #drone #pov #australia #love #mum

POV: one of nature’s greatest migrations right at your doorstep. The annual migration of humpback whales in Australian waters. This wildlife duo- Michael Theo and I watch whales LIVE on a fabulous clear Sydney day. You’re whale-come. #POV #whale #australia #nature #explore @Australia

Orca predation events on sunfish in the Gulf of California- ‘ram-to-fragment’ action right here. Published today by Ayres et al. 2026. Gotta love the power of people seeing things and sharing what they see! #orca #killerwhale #sunfish #pov #fyp

You whale not believe what I was going to use as my iPhone stand... turns out it was NOT a garden ornament. Watch to find out.... #wildlife #newyork #wildlife #pov #fyp @newyorker.com

#birdflu and stranded humpback #whale calf off Sydney?

First Siale publication. If there’s anything you take away from this- whales do NOT recognise international borders. Our efforts for whale conservation must be collaborative and cross nations. A beautiful mix of AI, citizen science and nature- boom! #siale #migaloo #whale #tonga #australia

The new whale watching: This epic migration is more astonishing than we ever imagined. Story in today’s @sydneymorningherald #humpbackhighway #whale #conservation #ocean #nature

Whales are protected in Tongan waters. Each year they migrate to the beautiful waters of Tonga to breed, calve, nurse their young, rest and socialise.  Underwater footage by Nessim Stevenson / Kogia Drone footage by Waitt Institute #Tonga #whale #vavau #whaleswimming #BlueProsperity

A few of the fabulous women I’m working with to fight wildlife crime and conserve whales. When people lift others, amazing things happen. @gamayrangers April Allende Dr @zarabphd Dr @phoebe_for_the_wild Dr Justine O’Brien Dr Ana Motamayor #wildlife #wildlifetrade #nature #ai #womeninstem

Curly the humpback whale?! Me thinks it could whale be! This reel goes way back to 2016 everyone! Whale research is a lifelong commitment driven by pure love and passion. We LOVE citizen science! Thank you everyone. #whale #ocean #drone #australia #happywhale

Neil the seal is back- but why? How do we make sure Neil and humans are safe? Dr Sophia @sophiavolzke.bsky.social and I discuss to help you be informed. Please give Neil space and enjoy him. #neiltheseal #elephantseal #Tasmania #Australia #Antarctica

Yesterday I watched as a mother and calf Southern right whale sat in a shipping channel. I observed them in Gamay (Botany Bay) enjoying the shallow sheltered waters earlier that day with National Parks and Wildlife Service and NSW Maritime.  #whale #ship #nature #ocean #POV

#killerwhale the movie in @Netflix.com enjoy!

Shark x dolphin for fish. A beautiful capture which made we watch on repeat! This is a beautiful example of two different species wanting the same thing. Fabulous capture of our Australian blue backyard Katie May @lifestylie. #shark #dolphin #drone #fishing #nature

I see a unique opportunity for marine science here in Sydney right now. A second white shark seen this am off Bondi by @Dronesharkapp. Whale-come.  #bondi #shark #scicomm #greenscreenvideo

How long can a humpback whale hold their breath?! #fact #animal #humpbackhighway #nature #australia

Bladerunner the humpback whale, is that you?! Probably not…. Good spotting @dronesharkapp and thank you @happywhale_official and my whale gurus! #humpbackhighway #ship #ocean #sea #greenscreenvideo

It’s the winter solstice (shortest day here) and I’ve got two fabulous things to share……with a hit of scicomm for you all…. The @gg_australia has announced three recipients of the Australian Antarctic Medal- Dr Clive McMahon is a recipient! #wintersolstice #elephantseal

I give you a direct update from the humpback highway. Tail slapping humpback whales. The perfect refreshment I needed to start my day. Enjoy, whale-come. #humpbackhighway #pov #australia #sydney #travel

Southern right whale mum and calf, Aus. This program uses the pattern of those white patches- harden skin aka callosities- to identify each whale. Please be a kind whale watcher. Keep at least 300m from them via a boat and at least 100m above. Or, simply enjoy them from land!

A 5.3 million‑year‑old whale graveyard has been found on the floor of the Indian Ocean, west of Perth, Australia. I explain more via @The Conversation AU + NZ Ping @Nature! #scicomm #whalefall #whale #australia #fyp
