Exceptional sight in the Aegean Sea

 

 

(ARGOLIKOS GULF - Greece) - The Greek television MegaChannel has rendered famous to have realized a video in which a humpback whale of the approximate length of 12 m swims calm in the waters of the Aegean Sea. The strangeness of the news resides in the extreme rarity of the sights of this species of cetaceans in the Mediterranean Sea, in fact they are oceanic animals that arrive in river basins like that Mediterranean one, for error or only for having a round in order then to return in the open ocean. Humpback whales, famous for the exceptional leaps and for their songs, had been sighted with certainty least times and only in the western Mediterranean Sea.
