Epic Travellers.

Did you know that this month, Humpback whales are passing our UK shores on their journey from the north on their way to give birth and raise their young in the south?

From the icy waters of the Arctic Circle they swim over 5,000km to the warm, bright waters of the Caribbean.

Once there, the female whales give birth, nudging their live young to the surface of the blue green waters to take their first breaths.

They nurse and keep their babies close for the whole of their first year.
