COLT
COLT is a large mature male with an amazing sense of curiosity. Staying close, circling and diving under the boats, COLT has, literally, held audiences captive making many whale watch boats late back to the dock.
A survivor. This male humpback survived attacks by killer whales as a calf and an entanglement in 2005. CORAL
CORAL is a mature male who perseveres in the face of adversity. Attacked by orcas as a newborn, he was only three years old when he lost his mother to a fishing gear entanglement, a fate he, fortunately, was able to survive as an adult.
He's from a growing family. Born in 1980 to Salt, he has at least 10 siblings and 5 nieces and nephews. He's also been immortalized in a children's book. CRYSTAL
CRYSTAL is an adult male and the oldest brother in a family of at least 10 brothers and sisters. Never one to be shy, he is easily identified and has been sighted both in the southern breeding grounds of the West Indies and also in the northern feeding area of the Gulf of Maine.
Named after the Roman god of war as her scars imply she has been through tough times.  She has more than 7 known calves. MARS
MARS is a strong female aptly named after the Roman god of war. Scarred but not broken, MARS has 10 known calves and is an active grandmother, often see breaching and socializing
This petite and shy female was named for her dark fluke. She's been seen every year since 1979 and is the mother of more than 6 calves. MIDNIGHT
MIDNIGHT, or “ms. Petite”, is a small mature female humpback, but don’t let her modest size fool you. She is a very determined and productive whale. While she is often alone and focused, she has also been a doting mother to her eight known calves.
Unusual for whales, she's a southpaw. She was named for her PEPPER
PEPPER, the “southpaw”, is a mature female that was first identified in 1976. Like people, most humpbacks are “righties” but not Pepper and that’s not the only trait that makes her stand out in the crowd. She’s also kept two of her 10 calves with her for two years!
Well-traveled, she is truly a beautiful reflection as she was named for the symmetrical pattern on her fluke. REFLECTION
REFLECTION is definitely an image of beauty. An adult female and mother of three, she was named for her symmetrical fluke pattern, but it is her feeding ballet that makes her recognizable from a distance. Her face out of the water followed by a splash of her fluke is how she captures fish.
The first whale named in the Gulf of MAine. A grandmother and leader, she's often in charge in a feeding aggregation. She is the mother of at least 11 calves. SALT
SALT is the movie star of whales and we are her paparazzi. She was first identified in 1975 and is one of the most distinguished and photographed humpback whales in the world. A mother of 11 known calves and a grandmother, she commands the respect of everyone who sees her.
Born in 1982, he was named after a star because of the bright white mark on his fluke. Tall, dark and handsome, he is one of only a few humpbacks with dark pectoral flippers. SIRIUS
SIRIUS, the strong, silent and complicated male. An entanglement scar on his tail stock bears witness to past struggles but he never lets on as he sometimes confidently approaches boats with a sense of curiosity or takes a deep dive and disappears.
