At Sydney, they observed a giant flounder, for the third time in 100 years

Giant whales are the largest mammals that inhabit our planet and also the largest living creatures. The giant flounder grows to a maximum length of about 30.5 to 33.6 meters and weighs up to about 190 tons. His tongue alone weighs about four tons, practically as much as an adult elephant.

Despite its size, however, even the inhabitants of the coastal lands do not just see this creature. This is due to the fact that whalers seldom visit the coast, mostly staying in remote parts of the oceans.

It was as if I had hit the jackpot, the photographer rejoiced

Whale was seen by observers in Australia during August near Maroubra Beach in New South Wales, and a number of photographers immediately came to take pictures of the 25-meter-long creature.

“I can’t describe everything that suddenly comes to mind, I feel like I won the jackpot,” commented on Instagram’s post one of the photographers who managed to catch a whale near the Australian shores.

“Yes, it really is an extremely rare photographic catch. Even at sea, the weed population is scattered and we have very limited data on their migration, “Andrew Marshall of the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service told the BBC. He added that this is only the third time in the last hundred years that Australians have had the opportunity to see a whiting off their coast.
