Elusive Whales Captured in Never Before Seen Drone Footage

A research expedition to Mexico’s Guadalupe Island has scientists excited after they captured never before seen footage of seriously elusive Cuvier’s beaked whales.

Little is known about these whales, who are the most extreme diving mammals on earth. They can dive to depths of 10,000 feet, which Sea Shepherd puts into perspective by likening it to the length of eight Empire State Buildings. They can stay below the surface for up to two hours before resurfacing for air.

Their behavior has made them difficult to study, but scientists are determined to learn more about them, and this location is a prime spot.
