Eclipse (Antarctica) @2725

Eclipse was named for the solar flare like killer whale rake marks reminiscent of a solar eclipse, adopted in 2018 by Sylvie Rondeau. This whale is part of the Antarctic Humpback Whale Catalog at Allied Whale, College of the Atlantic, new to science thanks to the collaboration between Happywhale and Allied Whale. The AHWC is an international collaborative database with records of about 7000 individual whales from throughout the Southern Hemisphere spanning three decades.
