One of the greatest things about owning a vacation or retirement home on the beach is
enjoying the wildlife that pass by. Humpback whales arrive at Bahia de Banderas,
regarded as one of the largest and most beautiful bays in the world, to escape the cold
winter weather. Here these whales go through their breeding rituals forming courtship
groups, mating, giving birth to their offspring and nursing them. Whale watchers are
treated to a marvelous sight. A local Mexico, Cancun Real Estate agent can provide you
with a list of beachfront properties available for sale or rent and you can enjoy whale
watching from the comfort of your own home.
Humpback whales are marine mammals that do not have a nose. Instead they breathe
through two openings called spiracles, at the top of their heads. Their large lungs make it
possible for them to remain underwater from 10 to 30 minutes.
The life expectancy of humpback whales is 45 years. Their gestation period lasts 12
months. Calves are born in tropic and subtropical waters. During their birth the first thing
to show is the fluke. At birth, a whale calf is between 4 and 5 meters long and weights
between 1,300 and 1,400 kgs. Females nurse their calves for a year at which time the calf
doubles in size to between 7 and 8 tons. Adult females are 18 meters long and can weight
up to 53 tons. Viewing these majestic animals is even more exciting from your own
beachfront property or condominium.
Their most distinctive feature of the humpback whale is their long pectoral fins, which can
be as long as one third of the length of their bodies. The fins may be black on their dorsal
part and completely white on their ventral part.
Whales do not have vocal cords but they do have the capacity to emit sounds (moans,
squeaks, cries) through valves located in their larynx. The sounds last for an average of 6 to
35 minutes and are high pitched.
In the fall, humpback whales leave their feeding grounds in the Gulf of Alaska, the sea of
Bering, the sea of Chuckchi, and the sea of Okhotsk, and travel towards the Pacific coast of
Mexico. They gather mainly in the surroundings of the Marias Islands, the Isabel Islands,
the Revillagigedo Archipelago as well as the Bay of Banderas, in Nayarit and Jalisco.
At the end March and during the first days of April, the whales begin their long journey
back to the polar region. The whale calves have learned to swim but they remain close to
their mothers for food and protection. You can contact your local Mexico Real Estate
Agent to find available properties, Mexico, Cancun Vacation Properties and avoid the
long journey back.
