Humpback whales off Belgian coast

This 28 January 2016 video shows a humpback whale, swimming in the North Sea of the Belgian coast near Raversijde.

Two humpback whales were seen there yesterday evening.

This species is better at swimming in shallow water than sperm whales, so there is less chance that they will strand.
