The photos of our Kim Seokjin Whale was adorable but here's a majestic video of him swimming around the Babuyan Marine Corridor 🐳✨️😍 According to BalyenaOrg, humpback whales 🐋 migrate to the Babuyan Marine Corridor 🌊 to breed, give birth, and nurse their young 🐋 which is an IMPORTANT marine mammal area that should be protected 💜 Video was taken by Jasmin Meren. Special thanks to: Jo Marie Acebes, Founder and Principal Investigator of BALYENA.ORG (@BalyenaOrg) 🐳💜
